Some better pictures

New arches - some quick pics

Rear valance cut away, old petrol tank removed and disgarded - huge weight saving! Holes cut for the look more than anything else. We've discussed fabbing some sort of aluminium rear air diffuser like you get on modern sports cars to fill the gap that's left in the valance.

The car has been sprayed in white primer and is more or less ready for a flatting off and top coat of BMW Alpine White.

Front valance cut away to ape the look of a WRC car. Front wings now blend into the valance - meaning a bit more repair work if I smack into something. Notice that the rollcage is now in place and bolted in. Bonnet wasn't sprayed as it's going to be replaced by a lightweight GRP one.

Looking a bit funny with the original skinny 14 by 5.5 inch wheel fitted. A nine inch wide rear wheel should easily fit under the new arch.

Front wing rolled out easily . All the arch work is in steel and completely unique to my car. Brian kept all the cardboard templates in case I damage them in the future.
