Jay hasn't had much free time in the last week, But when he gets cracking he dont waste no time :D
The new rear inner arch is on and primed with weld through primer ready for the outer arch.
before anyone says, the final hole for the body kit will be put in before the outer arch goes on

Pics ....

Looking very nice i must say.
Well done to jay for dealing with the grief of fitting the pattern part inner repair panels. worth every penny though to have new metal ready for the outter arch to go on :)

:lol: :lol: , i do have carpert for the room but its old person style with colours and patterns etc, got it free, but couldnt use it, would trip me out i reckon :lol: :lol:
these rugs are old though anyway, so just as well use them, ive ruinied my fleese jumper (old work one) and smelt something funny other day which lingered for a bit too long, looked down and could see a nice glowing bit of weld melting its way through the side of the steel toe caps :lol: but the time i got up and got it off, it had near enough come through.
my own fault for having my foot like it was when welding, no matter though, new pair of boots and fleese go on the bill :bonkers: :lol: :lol: :lol:
