Ahhhh now I remember that feeling........ soooooooooo nervous of cutting my panels, I put it off for ages
But,
I,ve got the side panels going all the way to the front frame , with holes cut for the suspension bracket area,s.
It was a slow process as I started with small holes & gradually made them bigger to ensure nothing touched etc, even ensuring the wishbones didn,t touch the side panel when moving up & down.
The hole that I cut for the front lower suspension bracket........sort of runs into 1 big hole that also has the steering rack running thru it.
I have some pics if it,d help?
cheers
