Im hunting a minus shell. What size wheels are you runninig and what size arches will you use, I want to drop the wheels well into the arches without rubbing, how low can you go without major surgery?

[Ade]

The doors in the pictures are the original steel doors which fit fine. The fibreglass door have been made on a twisted frame and not to the correct dimension (even thought they had the original doors as a template......

The wheels on it are 13s. The arches are going to need a lot of modifing before they'll fit properly but thats a job for the bodyshop thankfully!! :grin:

Hey Ade great project mate

Are you going to get new doors from RSR or stick with the steel ones? To say RSR are unrealiable is an understatement.

[Ade]

I can't afford to wait any longer for RSR to sort the fibreglass ones so will have to go with the steel ones. Not what I ideally wanted to do but there you go.... :sad:

[ryan69]

You getting refunded?

[Ade]

Wow it's been a while. Looks awesome man. Can't wait to see it completely finished. How are you feeling by the way? I hope all went well after the operation.

Cheers guys. I'm very happy with how it's coming on. Sometimes it feel like a real struggle but "it will be worth it in the end" :grin:

Pretty much fine now thanks Derek. All went well (apart from feeling really unfit due to doing no physical exersion for 8 weeks!) Only occasionally sore when I lay on that side. :grin:

[Jackman]

Looks really good, keep at it.

[Joontae]
