Here we go . . . i have started a 20vt project have done widetrack and have had some problems with wheels every wheel i like does not fit the way i want so the only option was try something different i ended up widening the wings first was to cut the arch leaving one inch in each corner and pulling on the wing till i got the arch to where i wanted it to sit.then welding in a plate grind the welding back. skim of filler and we-heee we have wide arches. saying that i am not putting the plastic arches back on. here is some pictures -tell me what you think? Dont no wats up with photobucket but heres the pics: http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums...20V%20Turbo/?action=view¤t=IMAG0117.jpg http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums...20V%20Turbo/?action=view¤t=IMAG0115.jpg http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums...- 20V Turbo/?action=view¤t=IMAG0110.jpg
Seems to be the season for Mk2 arch work different approach but similar results: are you planning on running wider tyres? 215, 225's?
God I hate people who can do that kind of thing (in a jealous sort of way) if I tried doing that it would look a proper mess. Lovely work though.
ok all 4 arches done and ready in primer next is to get the body ready to paint. also got 4 shiny new coilovers to go in. here is the arches in primer. http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums...- 20V Turbo/?action=view¤t=IMAG0131.jpg http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums...20V%20Turbo/?action=view¤t=IMAG0130.jpg http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums...20V%20Turbo/?action=view¤t=IMAG0129.jpg http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums...20V%20Turbo/?action=view¤t=IMAG0128.jpg http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums...20V%20Turbo/?action=view¤t=IMAG0127.jpg http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums...20V%20Turbo/?action=view¤t=IMAG0126.jpg
right here is some more pictures of the arches sealed from inside and stone chiped. fitted with fk coilovers and sat back on the floor.
They look really good Wouldn't mind something like this on mine, but think it would definitely suit small bumpers :-)
here is some more pictures of the car in base paint and then in laquer. the only thing left is to maybe put some side skirts on,and to wrap the roof in matt black.
very nice build thread so in detailed pictures. did my with audi tt 225 engine its an animal especially on country roads when it realy comes alive. once finished you'll love it.
