Well. Big things happened today. I decided to get my 16s back on the car nxt weekend. But I want to keep it low and as the 16s are stupid offset they sit at the edge of the arches. So I'd have to raise it. Well I thought about this and decided am going to roll my arches. Backs were ground back to make sure no rust then heat gun and a hammer by my mate ian to got the lips bent in and a slight pulling with a scafold pole. Sorted.
For the fronts I decided that I wanted a nice arch line and also wanted to still go low. So after getting a spare wint to replace mine that was rotted. I set about pulling the lip. (Towel and molegrips), as my technique wasn't good to begin with I had some dimples to sort. Easy though as the filler is needed to go on all arches to get things smoothed. Its not finished buts its good for now. I even lowed the front another 20mm and still got 20mm of clearence on the arch.
Pics up tomorow of all the arches and seats and other things I need to put up.
Cheers to martin and ian for the help today.
Cheers liam
