I will be ditching them after the iva and going for some nice 18" with 295's for the rear! and probably keep the 225 for the front.

I have some special rear arches being delivered next week Cant see from the pic but these babies are quite large.

Finished mounting the fuel tank. Looks quite good i think! Thanks for the advice and pics Johno

Started working on the plenum as decided its about time i learned how to tig weld ally. Got loads to do so the time in learning will save me a huge amount of cash. I have the setup all ready but i have just been lazy!

Anyhow here is the plenum i have had to cut it up a bit and still have a huge amount more to do as have to cut the 6 tubes down by 15-20mm still >_<

Question
Out of curiosity why are you not fitting the wide arches for IVA ? Is it something to do with indicator visibility or is it something else ?

Like the rear arches? a little different thats for sure and eat up my 18's might need a rear 20mm spacer but that should be ok for the iva i think.

Sad day! Strip down has started. Had a friend pop over to give me a hand yanking the engine out. LOADS of work to do now have to finish all the welding on the chassis weld in the floor and firewall. Then its paint time and rebuild. Also have to paint the engine to make it look nice and new that itself is going to take a massive amount of work.

Just wanted to say I'm still here and started work on the beast again yesterday. Just doing the chassis prep before paint and finishing all those missed welds. Will also install a steel floor at 1.6mm (thick i know but i think it needs it!)

I'm moving house on Friday so need to get it painted by then! Any advice as to where i can get some good chassis paint in Dorset on Monday?

Thanks again! Oh and Btw if anyone is around at all next week and wants to lend a hand for beer tokens let me know!

Where did the rear arches come from? I need to cover some over sized rubber as well. Looks like the same wheels I got.
