    next job is to pick up the 2 front studs on the rear subframe then the rear is redundant if i could afford a proper pipe bender i would build a space frame from scratch, might still do in the future

    theres more to fitting overfenders than i thought

    first cut off the old wing leaving 25mm to bond to


    work out a cut line so i can extend the inner arch [which i will do tomorrow as its cold and dark now]


    then it should end up like this

    big to Si for collecting the overfenders from Ken and dropping them around my place, true gentleman

    Jesus on a flippin' moped, you don't hang about!
    I'd just like to point out that when I left Mr CTR's house at about half 3, both rear wings were most definately still in one piece!

    NP dude, that means I only owe you about 18 favours now


    Oh, and it's a normal thread apparently!

    With regards bonding agent...

    Do you ever want them to come off again?

    Look up your local distributor of this:

    http://www.itwplexus.com/home.html

    It's a self-mixing 2 part adhesive. You get a special gun to dispense it, and once it's cured, you wont ever have to worry about your trim flapping or coming off.

    If you want somethings that will come off if you need it to....

    http://www.sika.co.uk/tech-elseal-bond Sikaflex 552 will be ideal

    It's not cheap, but you dont need much They'll be able to point you to a local distributor if they wont sell direct, but they should sell direct.

    THAT's how to do overfenders

    Only thing is - you're not going to lose any stiffness cutting off the old wings are you? I know it's practically spaceframed anyways...

    Yep- this car looks pretty serious!
    Looks like a thorough job, good sense of achievement? Or is completion to far away still?
