it can be done, as it is with a mini.

you need to cut little sections out at a time and seam weld it.

With a mini, you brace it too.

I mean i could be wrong... but i see no other reason for them to put a gutter there, they normally hold the roof skin to the rear quarter and whatnot.

oh right cheers ill look into it some more. i was literally just gonna grind it off haha

Toby's right. You need to weld as you cut bits off

Haha, its the welder thats the problem, I'm usually pretty descent at welding, I'm best at arc though, think ill leave the gutters for now then haha

slam panel is back on, passenger wing back on, anti roll bar back on, inside stripped, front valance dent beaten out. waiting for paint now.

found too much rust bro

yeah quite alot between the rear suspension turrets and seatbelt mounts so itd probs fail an mot :/

pissed at the work i put into it getting it straight but nevermind. the interior ect will make me my money back easily.

yee black one is getting a colour change this weekend, and gonna flair the arches and run without the trims :p hopefully itl look nice and smooth

Arch trims .. talk to me !!!!

i think i have a spare set, so you may be in luck ma friend

Ok fuel pump relocated from chassis leg to battery tray, battery wiring tidied up, choke cabke neatened uo and fixed, all is going well

have you got anything to hold the trumpets in?

think i have the little metal plate things to go on the air box (which i was gonna cut up as its too big) but I'm missing a few of the screws

well, went out for a blast today up the ace cafe, on the way back, lined up with my friends 170-180 bhp rs turbo and my friends 270bhp focus st and had them both off the line LOL got through second gear and then they caught me!hen

BUT then we had another play, and as i launched the wheels span up, but then i hit a bump pand it caught grip, and popped the fucking TCA bush out!

now the car is stuck on an a road with the tca pushed forwards and as its so low it just hits the arch! fuck sake!

how hard are the ball joint on the TCAs to pop off?

Glad I have traction

reckon a g clamp is strong enough to pop a bush back in?

Dunno mate! They seem to pop out easily enough!
