Beautiful looking dogs.

It's nice to see pets enjoying what they are bred for.

A nice day today. What a difference from last week
Anyway, managed to weld up my near side wheel arch
Not much to say really, just plated it up using 1.5mm plate, so nice a sturdy
Checked with the wheel on and now a good inch of clearance on full lock
Painted it with some Red Oxide, got to run round it with seam sealant then paint it black

I think I may have a small problem when I come to do the Off Side
I think my pedals may be an issue with moving the footwell back, especially the Accelerator
Any thoughts will be welcomed with open arms  ;)


Cheers

Hi Mick,

JD's the man, he is fitting my big wheels, so definitely worth contacting.

He will definitely have to move your pedals to get those 20" wheels in  :o

Morning all

Managed to get the Off side wheel arch finished.
No more tyre rubbing ( fingers crossed )

Forgot to take pictures, so only have one of it finished

Wow nice one mickey , just use plenty masking tape around the wing and door edges and you will be fine removing and refitting the front and  :),  bonus you will be able to make some decent brackets for the headlights   Jd

I have 20 inch alloys on mine. They do rub a bit but only when reversing.

Mine weren't rubbing by much, but would still be a MOT failure  :o
Was a pain in the arse but all done now  ;)

Definitely worth doing if your clever enough.
I haven't been able to enjoy mine since picking it up from JD. I've been very Ill now for a long time so can't wait to get better and enjoy her.
Everyone's cars are looking great by the way. :)

Sorry to hear that Matey
Get well soon
Will you be at Stoneleigh with or without the car

In fact, it is quiet on the Stoneleigh front, who is going ????

I will be there on the Sunday, fingers crossed  ;)
