Chris's new build of an MX5 based car

[CTWV50]

Arches.......

I used these collapsing rivnuts. Really easy to install hopefully they will hold.

Coming together, now the weather has decided what to do!



Honestly, it looks better in person. It's a bit of shock when you step out the house and look up, not expecting it to be there, or look so red! I can feel the end.....

Hi Chris,

First, I think the car looks very good. Very red indeed, but it is not shocking to me, I really like it You're almost done, congratulations!

I fitted my rear arches this week-end too, and I was wondering: what kind of trim/piping did you use between the arches and the side panels/rear tube? I can see a black lining there on your pictures, and I often saw that on finished cars, but I don't know what it is, and I'd like to put some on my car too to seal this part.

Could you please let me know?

Thanks.

Hi Sylvian, Thanks for the comments. If you do an ebay search for "wing piping" there are some people shipping internationally. Or try this link it was cheaper for me than ebay.
