Re: Jamo's Mk3 8v Project - REAR ARCHES DONE
« Reply #24 on: 21 October 2011, 19:45 »
Spent some time on it this week getting the other wheel arch sorted out. Wasn't as straight forward as the other side as half the inner arch came away with it when removed so had to make some plates up to get it right. Could of easily botched it up but thats not what this project is about. Not yet got into the habit of photographing as i go along but got a few today before I finished it off.

Arch on, fiberglassed, fillered and seam sealered.



Section of the inner wheel arch although it been welded all the way round.



Hed to rebuild the section at the bottom too as that was falling apart. In mk3 tradition, loads of seam sealer. Rock solid now.



Some etching primer brushed on for now for protection.







Well thats pretty much all the welding done. just got a couple of cosmetic bits like de-wiper and de-badge at the rear along with welding up up two of the floor grommets that have began to corrode in drivers footwell. Next up will be the removal of the engine and gearbox along with the subframe and everything else for painting up. This is the bit ive been looking forward too.  :wink:

I'm gonna be using the 8v (for now) as it runs sweet and has low miles. If any coversion is to be made it will most definately be a VR once its been on the road for a bit. Aye its coming along. Still a fair bit to go yet but at least i'm getting all this rust sorted out.

Nice work fella  :cool:

Cheers man!!
