Default My Wide arch 5 door project

Hi all. New here on Passion Ford but a regular on WWW.ESCORTEVOLUTION.CO.UK. Thought I'd share my long running project with you guys. Not one for the motor heads among you but more for the people who prefer the body styling side of things. My car is a 96 1.6 lx. Always loved the lines of the cossie (who doesnt) so decided to work them onto my 5 door. At the start of this project I had never seen them on a 5 door which is why I decided to do it
The full thread is on Evo but I'll just upload pics of the more interesting bits on here. I wont fill it with loads of commentary so any questions just ask. They may also not be in the correct order i did it all but nevermind

I dont actually have a start picture but it was just like any other pepper red scort out there!
Front arches already fitted, You can also see how dirty the engine bay is And please excuse the neon light tube........yes the car had been in that...era!

Right, think these were all the main stages of the arch assembly. This took me forever to do and a tonne of filling sanding and repeating! Ill upload more as I go, I wont bombard the 1st post with every pic I have lol
Comments helps and tips ALWAYS welcome. I always like to learn something new. Cheers.
