just a small update tonight, 2 of my mates came over and helped clean off the inner arches ready for stonechipping, big thanks to Mark and Darryl
Also got my handbrake brackets from Wizzi (cheers Dave) and ST170 clocks from Brad.
Going to mock up rear beam on the weekend and trial fit the brackets.
