Well after another day of chuffin' on, I have decided not to butcher the arches
as you can see it would be criminal to take a grinder to these

 

[The Patrolman]

So I looked in the garage and found a tin of Hammerite, Green but it will be hidden and stop the tin worm, slapped a bit about in side the arches and put it back together again:thumb2

 

[The Patrolman]

just another shot cos I took 4:lol

 

[The Patrolman]

and Number 4:thumb2
as much as it annoys me I think I'll be sticking with 35"x 12.5" 16's
Unless:sly I can find a set of wings that I can cut up Any one got any spare fronts:nenau

 

[Adz]

10" body lift then instead of cutting :augie :lol :lol :lol

 

[The Patrolman]

re fixed the Bump stops wit a bit of CT-1:thumb2
still got about 5" before they come in to play.
So may only need a 5" body lift

Further progress:thumb2 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:augie:augie
