re fixed the Bump stops wit a bit of CT-1

still got about 5" before they come in to play.
So may only need a 5" body lift

Further progress

I have aquired a 3rd matching 37 x12.5 x17.
New and delivered for£110

but still les than half price
so that makes 3 for £160 and an average of £53 each instead of £248.

As for the wings

the grinder it is.

instead of enlarging the opening by running the grinder all the way around the arch I plan to chop a section from the top centre ofthe arch and move it back by about 2" and then infill a small gap and re finnish.

Retining the good arches, arch liners and as i have 2 sets of spats it should look standard
