Even more work im afraid - got the bodykit off today after drilling out the rivets and it gets worse. Both back arches are gone so looks like they have to be replaced too. At least I can get these done and the inner arches together. Instead of getting the welding done over 1 month (get paid monthly) im gonna have to get it stretched over 2 months so i can afford to pay to have it all done properly. Ive started getting the stickers off too though my nan decieded to paint one bit with paint (sticker must of peeled off!) though this isnt a prob as its gonna have a full respray anyway.Ive managed to talk my bro in law into giving me a hand, my dad is lending us his garage so hopefully with the right tools we can get this done properly!!!! As the stickers are going and dont fancy paying too much to get them recreated, im thinking of getting s1 grafix or st grafix put on instead as i think it looks too plain with no grafix on. Hopefully gonna get the welder to blank the locks off too.
Looking at it (and im no expert) the front wings are good as these were already replaced so im hoping they can be taken off and either new inner wings or a good patch can be welded on before putting the wings back on again. The sills should be able to be tidyed up and plated at the corners under the wings and in the inside. Both outer arches will need replacing and if these are being cut out then should get new inner arches welded on too.
Here u go:






As you can see from the last pic the off side rear wing is the worst part. Looked on beevers panels and can get new arch but only the van bottom section bit so might have to fabricate something up.
The welder knows his stuff so will leave it to him.
Its going in friday.
Might just get the front bumper off (prob need to ,to get wings off), as soon as i can find where its bolted too as it seems hard to reach.
