love the flocked bits nice to see her back solid again, lick of paint and shel be as good as new

cheers pal, yes i know its not far off now but it all comes down to money, i'm trying to sort the paintwork as soon as the money is there, the flocking bits have been done in a charcoal grey which the colour does'nt come up well in the pics, but looks awsome

[pauldolman]

i picked the fiesta up from the painters last night, they've filled, primed and painted & rolled the rear quarter and painted the sideskirt and rear arch spat too and repaired and painted the sunroof and sealed from underneath, i was hoping to have the kit painted on the other side too but due to the amount of prep work needed on the rear quarter to make good was more than expected so the other side was left for this time

heres a few pics of the car in paint, just needs everything putting back together inside now

Paul are you running 17's??

[pauldolman]

:Q

Paul are you running 17's??

not any more, i used too though, but the reason the arch needed to be rolled is the custom hubs which come with the rear disc conversion(from the fiesta centre) pushes the mounting point out quite a lot almost level with the normal arch and the rims i run are azev a's 7.5j x 16 so they are very wide too

Hmmmm cheers mate,,just wondered as im gonna try shoe horn 205/40/17's on mine if i can, and thought you might have just rolled em to fit 17's..

be interested to know how the rear setup performs for you if cool, dunno if i can handle drums poking from behind big rims

cheers again fella

as i said i ran them for many years and the only reason i stopping was because of the increase of power i am running, but for your purpose the key will be how low you want it to sit at the back

[pauldolman]

arches are pretty much there now, had another day working on them today and all is looking good, well i think so anyway

[Dave G fsi]

Nice one, looking good

[jayrs]

are you not fitting arch liners back in the front paul?

[pauldolman]

are you not fitting arch liners back in the front paul?

i can't jay because of the 7.5j rims

[rsturbonutter]

First picture of your last post just above where you can see the beam coming from underneath you have not welded in metal on the corner is there a reason for this as surely it will rust with everything exsposed like that. Other than that good work fella

[jayrs]

i see, i still would of thought you could get something in there though fella, i would advise at least trying something, water being flung about from the wheels are going to cause a lot of problems, at the very least, could you not chop a arch liner up so you had protection in front and behind the wheel? i see potental problem on the reinforcer at the base of the wheel arch at a later stage fella.

of have you tried cutting some up in the past?
