p4u1 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Lol yeah they were they've been taken off at the mo to fit the widearch wings, ive decided as my car is low on the coilovers it's impossible to space my wheels out to flush up with the wide arches so il be chopping my arch out and welding it uphttp://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i421/p4u188/eea5b200.jpgI've recently drew a line around to cut it back to so I can in future get some cossies on it.As I've fitted the arch panel already to the other side il have to chop it out from behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmotorsport Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Chris 'Hassells' Lower likes this. Looking good pal, block looks nice! Don't know if the paint will stay on the Manifold though, heat wrap it Oh BTW, on the alternator bracket, there should be a plate that comes off it, to stop the manifold burning the alternator. Thought i'd mention it incase the engine didn't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
