If you were to do it all in one go?Thanks bud! Id say if both the sides were as bad as this and with making your own repair sections aswell, I think i would be able to get it in rough primer in a week. I can imagine that time being halfed though if i were to buy proper repair panels It takes time doing some old fashioned panel beating lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Wish I could weld like that - mines started to go around both arches the same as yours and I'd like to do all the work myself. Great work - keep it coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz s Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Not much of an update due to the weather being turd but i went to u-pull-it in york the other day for some parts for my dads new v40 and had a look over at the honda section and got these out of an mb6 due to my fuel light not working. Ill be soon to join the carbon film gang as im gonna take them apart and do the part around the dials.By any chance does any one know of a way id be able to set the milage to my car? there 20k more. It's not a biggie but it would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz s Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Small update! got the lip of the rear arch in primer today. it wasn't really rotten so all i did was grind down the surface rust and treat with rust converter, I think that should hold it back for a couple of years or so as it was only slightley pitted. Also seam sealed where the inner and outer arch meet so no more water can get between. Im hoping to have this side finished and in 2k primer in the next week or so.I have now officially joined the carbon wrap gang i wrapped the surround in my mb6 cluster and im chuffed, I also fitted an alarm led in the bottom corner for when i come to fit an aftermarket one. I think it looks much better than a hole in the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
