Thanks to you Art Thumbs up!

update

Started with the wheel arches. Went with golf mk 3(oldschool Cool metal/budget ones) The measuring took up most of the time.

I wasn't happy with the plate finishing sharp so a added some plate to make it "tire safe" Smile
What's left is connecting the golf mk3 arch with the ori arch (inner) and finish the rear part of the wheel house.

Whoah man, nice work! Much respect. Thumbs up! That plate is a smart move as it will also keep all of the water and dirt outside.

Thx Lajoosh Thumbs up!

Rust free - YES Hurray!

Dont worry about aesthetics, nobody will be checking your undercarrieage. And if you do a good work on the body, the car will look like new. Unlike my car which has so much kit on it that chunks are falling off at places :/ Previous owner didn't want to bother with straightening and welding too much, rather used alot of kit everywhere... so i think time spent in this phase will heavily reflect on the finished resoult.

Yeah I know...I am gonna beat the shit out of it anyways, so it's probably going to see a lot of welding further onBig Grin

Mini update
My motivation has dropped a little bit, but I forced my self to work on the wheel arch today...
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - cannabolics hachi...]

...hopefully will finish it tonight
It's going to be difficult to rust secure it on the inside

Just to make something different I spot welded teh chassi on the inside...

Hopefully someday it will get close to perfect Thumbs up!

It's going to be a street/track/drift/fun car

Polish mode on:
ok 6 k PLN w 2005 roku. Jeżeli zdecydujesz się na kupno sr5 to daj znać na PM, bo może mam cos ciekawego dla ciebie.

Dzięki!
