hello there, got a series 1 and some 17 inch rs 7 spokes.
need my arches rolling, does any one out there know any good
body shops that can do this for me. i am not bothered how much
it will cost (as long as it aint stupid money) as long as a good job is done.
dont dare do it myself
thanks

 

Not sure who in preston would do that to be honest mate. Most body shops round here are of the ordinary repairers rather than body mods plus adding to that, the S1 kit needs the arch lip to fix to.

Incidently, how long have you had the S1 mate and where abouts in Preston are you? Just never seen you around that's all....not that I can remeber anyway.

 

live near longridge, just over 2 weeks, had my eye on one for a long time.
why? where abouts are you?

 

I am in Lostock Hall mate. Probably why I have never seen your's.....opposite ends of the town.

You don't see many S1 RSTs round here, thats all.

 

alright, i know lostock hall pretty well, going down to leyland mcdonalds tonight to meet a couple of mates, if your in the neighbourhood then pull on.

 

I will be out and about from 9pm onwards and usually stop on McDonalds for a coffee and to point and laugh at the shite that usually goes on there.

I will be in the only other S1 on there.

 

Might come down in stealth mode in my Vectra

 

LOL! The plod use them round here. You might spook all the chavs.

To be honest Tony, it's not worth the trip from Warrington. It's barely worth the trip from my house 3 miles away but I like the McD's coffee!

 

AJC, if you are around later, a mate of mine might be able to put you in touch with a lad who can do a bit of body work IF he shows his face tonight as well.

 

BTW,
We always roll the wings off the car, it makes it easier.

We also put a welding rod under the arch and roll round that, it keeps the shape, adds extra strength, and looks professional.

Now given the wings on escorts are welded on it would possibly be too much trouble for most bodyshops unless you are fitting new wings.

Good luck

 

yeah, well i will be on leyland tonight, i will be there at 9, series 1, C554 NFV, going to try get my mate there with escort cossie to come down to.
