got both arches cut off today joggled the edges so the new ones fit flush and they are ready to go on, just got to get the wheels off and rebuild the inner arches as they have rusted away.



the joggled edge

my brother came down the workshop today with the doors and new bonnet as the shotblasters damaged the old bonnet beond repair.
Got the good old nitromors out and striped the lot, the doors already had the backs shot blasted so only needed to do the fronts, will be doing some small repairs tomorrow then hopefully prime them all up

Good to see some more progress! Can't wait to see this one finished.

There is a brand new wire brish wheel somewhere on the bottom shelf if you haven't already found it...

finally got round to finishing repairing the doors and bonnet and got some primer on them. starting to look cool again and love the smoothed handles.




my brother finished building the front subframe up too so the car can finally go back on its wheels and have the new front end welded on

Nice update, coming along a treat.

Cheers for the bag sealer answer Ed.

I thought that may have been a Scimitar but wasn't sure as the arches looked different.
