well just a quick update, welded the arch up and cut off the slats, just have to do abit more welding inside the arch then rustproof it and smooth it over.
Never got the origin rear quarters in the end they didnt come in the shipment i waited ages for, but hopefully picking up a set of the type 2s at the end of the month and then the bodywork can start to finish off and get the car painted. Will have more updates soon.

Started lining up the front end while im waiting for the rear quarters, need to get the front bumper bar to hold up the front bumper but started drilling holes and lining them up.
Looks nice and wide from the front imo, have to do alot of work to get enough camber so the works will fit under the wings!!









Need to pull the front up on the bumper
