what size rims have you got?

I bought a set of curley miglia arches yesterday and i am having some rims split, wasnt sure to go for 6" wide and cut the arches down or to go for 7"?

I think 7 is going to be V heavy on the steering side adn also getting tyres to fit!!

Thanks, thats what i was thinking, il have a look at making the arches a little smaller. Sorry to go off topic.

looking ery nice up to now mate, keep it up, look forward to more pics

[andywaller]

i went to my local scrappy at the weekend to cut some bits of a scrap shell, i got some door step sections as the pattern panel i bought was shocking, and also a section of c pillar and roof where my has rotted out. i also got a set of seam strips to replace my old rusty ones.

the door step is welded in and i have blended out the welds and most of the prep is done on the c pillar i just have to cut my shell now!

oh yeah the wheels are 7 inches wide.

im not exactly worried about the heavy steering, the steering wheel i am using is only going to be 280mm and i am going to run about 4 or 5 degrees of castor angle.

im gonna look like a monkey with massive arms!

good job i think it will be my weekend car instead of every day!

i dont think it will be too difficult to make the arches smaller, because they have no real edge to the as long as the cut runs parralel to the origional edge you should be ok!

cheers wilcooper, i will have a load more pictures at the weekend!

[andywaller]

well i have been doing some more work on the car. the bit of door step section is now in and finished. and i have welded one of the old drain hole in the floor plan up so 1 more hole to do!

i also poked a hole in the wheel arch and it went right through so i have cut that out and shaped a repair section so i just have to weld that in.

then its just a case of a whole lot of grinding on the welds on the under side and the c pillar to go and the drivers side is done!

[Mincento]

Well mowag the cars looking good as ever, its always nice to see progress work especially when the owners doing the work instead of the chequebook garage build and it looks a tidy job

and the wheels just spot on but the tyre mans gonna moan like hell when you get the tyres put on

good luck with the project it will be worth all the effort in the end oh and you might of mentioned it back in the other pages but i cant remember so what colour was it going to be again?

wayne

[andywaller]

cheers wayne

im really proud of the fact that all the work so far has been done by myself.

i know what you mean about the trye man, none of the local places round here will do them.

and the colour dont ask lol. could be black, blue, grey! lol

[Dave 1293]

Keep it up mate!!
