It's been a while since i had an update so thought i'd add some fresh pictures.

Have had a busy week fitting new wheel arches, bought from P&L Minis, they're the 2.5 inch Wood and Pickett type arches. My Wheels are 5x12 so 2.5 inc arches would look to wide so i set about chopping them down to suit my wheels. In the end I took approx 1/2 - 3/4 inch off the inner edge of each arch so the wheels sit flush and don't look lost.

Then set about rubbing them down and giving them a coat of primer and finally 3 coats of paint rubbed down inbewteen each coat before a final t-cut.


First arch cut down and trial fit




Debris from cutting the arches down


Painted polished and fitted

 

Oh, I cut a big hole in the roof over winter too.

Thanks guys, but up close the paint isn't brilliant, just looks good in the pictures.
