I really really must get round to doing my replacement front wing! Looking good though  if you can, get them done soon! looks as though the bottoms of the wings, (line up with the sills) are curse word, phoned 3 scrappies today and all 3 said they were shot in the same place  EDIT: record day for me, 400 posts, 6k views and 10 pages! didnt realise id kick up this kinda storm!!!  |

youve got to build the blue one if u can, that is really nice its all very simple, except the rear arches... dunno how theyd be made, unless the stock arches were used and a strip welded between inner and outer, like when banding steels... how about renault 5 turbo rear arch extentions? just a thought. |

ive been loking into nova arches recently, may look into those too, could be quite expensive tho...
only problem is how to merge the new arches into the old squareback arch line that runs round the rear of the car...

Will prep it for painting this week |

why not do the bonnet in 2 pack. most have shiny car, satin bonnet. do the reverse and have satin car and shiny bonnet. or is that just wrong?  ?? |

Theres a trade paint/panel place at the Oval in Blackfen, might be worth a shout (opposite end to Lessness Motor Spares) havent tried it myself so might be duff but worth a shout and it'll be fairly close to you i'd imagine?!?!

I actually think it looks great with the gloss black - be different - don't use satin!!! That last rendering looks superb, not often Starmags look good

post a picture of the area that needs welding i need my exhaust system made up properly. basically all it is is weld the parts together, and possibly remove the middle box. |
