hi sorry i havnt really posted anything for a while well i have just brought another drivers door as i gave my door to some1 so that he could repair the bottom but he couldnt do it as it was just too thin so i thought i would just get a new 1. so i have got 1 coming friday from a member on here its been re skined and bottom has been repaired and its in primers so all good. also today i recieved my fibreglass sportspack arches which are ace much better than the crappy rubber ones. so now i got to fill all of the orginal arch bolt holes in am ordering some fiberglass bridging filler tomorrow so i will post some pictures of that when i do it. also i am getting new studs welded onto the passenger hinges.

will post pictures as i do the stuff

cheers
