Project Wide Arch 180sx!

[Scamper]

Update:

Made good progress on the car this week, got the two rear arches reinforced and cut up, so i can run better stance on the wheels, just waiting on a set of spacers i ordered last week


Also had a bit of a gap either side of the boot so i welded in a plate on either side to cover it , and got the boot ready for spraying
Boot is all cleaned out , removed the sound deadening, form under where th back seats will be all the way back
The boot will be sprayed black.


Then i made up brackets to mount on my new wider wings, lined them up welded them on and the lined up the wings with the bonnet to make sure all was ok



The wings should look well, when car is done, here is an idea of how they will be sitting


Here is an idea of what the front end might look like
Bare in mind, nothing is secured, bonnet is up, and car is jacked up on the far side.


Thats all the pics i have, but i have the two wings prepped for primer, also all 180 doors come with a line running along the door through the door handle, im taking this out , and flushing the door flat, and have that nearly done and prepped for primer.
Had a few cracks and bits to sort out on the body and thats what im at in the morning.
Car is being undersealed in the morning

More updates to come over the next few days....
