Have you tried on articulation? I would have thought it would catch but bet I'm wrong :lol

THe tyres just catch on full lock, if you back the wheel off by 5mins it's clear
I guess a set of 30mm wheel spacers will sort that out. not had chance to test out the articulation yet.
Just ordered some 4" strips of brushed stainless to makes some arch spats to keep Bobby Law happy.
Need to splash a bit of paint around the inside of the wings an re fit the under arch guards, sort out the rot on the rear arches, finish and paint the front wings.
Trim the rear plastic arch covers and we should be good to go.:thumb2

A little bit of welding and grinding later a 2" in fill bit of stainless and we're looking good:clap:clap

Oh bugger, what a good idea Wish I hadn't chopped the back of my arches now :doh
I will pinch that idea though, just as soon as I can find some more wings :banghead
Looking mighty fine mate

Thanks:thumb2

I wanted a spare set of wings to practice on but they fell through. So I thought how do I keep the mint wings with out cutting away the return edge, What you see is the result of some brave cuts with the grinder:clap

 

[The Patrolman]

A Bit of body work and not looking too bad if I say so myself:thumb2

 

[The Patrolman]

A final bit of filling and should be good:thumb2

 

[The Patrolman]

[Sweety]

Looking great:thumb2

 

[Fez_uk]

Look good but have I missed a step? Did you cut the rot out?

 

[The Patrolman]

Check out from #50:thumb2

There was no rot!

but I did take a section of wing out and move it back 2" to clear the new tyres

Glad you cant tell, if you check the earlier posts you will see the limited clearance with these tyres. now they are spot on:clap

 

[Fez_uk]

Very nice, just shows what you can do given the time, something I am desperately short of, Rick

I need to order some paint to respray the wings, does anyone know the paint code for ths nissan metallic red.
Not sure if i will need base coat and laquer or just a one coat of something close:nenau
