archs are really choped back, so far infact im going to have to weld some wee brackets for the archs to bolt thru on as i dont wanna bond them on,

ATTENTION
never let a 17 year old who has NO clue about cars read an internet site about cutting archs and think thats a gd idea.

(not one of my brightest memories that day)

I can't spray. Well, actually, I could give it a go

I'll see how far I get on Saturday as it will probably be a days work for me to do that. Plus I have a lot of filler work to do.
