Re: My slightly knackered old cars
Was the arch that bad you had to fit the full thing? We normally used to trim them down

Re: My slightly knackered old cars
It was easier to weld a new inner arch with the outer one cut all the way out, I think the other rear arch won't need the inner replacing so perhaps a closer cut will be required.DodgeRover wrote:Was the arch that bad you had to fit the full thing? We normally used to trim them down

Re: My slightly knackered old cars
That does make much more sense! Will be interested to see if it drives better after you have added so much metal back into it!

I can't take credit for the majority of the work, my friend is doing a lot of it for free.

Re: My slightly knackered old cars
I've been experimenting with a new camera and have made a couple of slightly better quality ones lately.
I found this one mildly amusing to make.
Feedback welcome.

Re: My slightly knackered old cars
I won a BMW in a local raffle and swapped it for a 216 GTI

I sold the Rover with a nice £491 profit.
Rover off to its new home ...

I bought a new camera to help with the videos and tried some stop motion stuff while replacing the wings on the 305 estate.

Upon removing the passenger wing I discovered some rust so cracked the welded out to make a repair.

Re: My slightly knackered old cars
Major WOOF for the 216GTI. I take it that it the Twin Cam with the sprint gearbox ratios? They also had gas filled dampers.
