I have followed this topic for ages but not commented!

Such a nice find this car!

Do you have any plans for the theme of this car yet?

Arches or no arches? I dont have arches on mine and with a fair amount of poke, for me at least, it looks spot on :)

Nice work on the sills that's some very clean welding.

I think this would look great on a set of reverse rims. There's a van down my way on them and they really suit the longer wheel base.

Reverse rims and cooper s disks with no arch modifications are tight when turning tho, you can see how low mine is and it touches occasionally nothing bad tho!

My rear wheels look so odd close up! I don't have adjuster brackets so there is loads of positive camber and toe in is mental! Now it's lowered n spaced it looks better, I'm still not happy though!

How hard is it to fit the brackets when the subframe is in situ?
