lee grout Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Gutted Can you show a pic a bit more up close of your skirt/arch where there all joined and smoothed in please (front). And also a close up of how you've done the bit by the rear door that would normally go up the rear quarter. Did you cut it competely off and smooth it in? (the bit inside the door) When stuff is just in filler etc its hard to see all the lines and work out how sumits done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok cool. Thing i cant get over....on the skirts where it goes up into the rear quarter......is about 4 inches from the front door. Is a 3 door escorts door that much longer or what? My kits not great quality either...tbh I dont think ANY fibreglass kits are that great!!! My skirts are the worst, lumps and bumps. Its not all going to show up properly untill I get it in a coat of paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which bit you mean? side skirt curve/door sill flat? I cant picture it lol The rear door were the gap in the side skirt is but to be honest I think I cut the skirt abit wrong so you might not have that problem but I have a another set of side skirts so I might see if I can take a piece off them to make it level all the way if it works I'll put some pics up but then I might have a problem were the skirt meets the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee grout Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Done i little more today getting there now..http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a594/mikeypr1/IMG_0596_zps7864d162.jpg Hmm I'm having a blonde day!!!!! Do you mean the skirt edge where it starts to flare outwards. From the rear door you'll have 4" or so of flat before it flares out. Did you mean that you cut the 'horizontal' line...er... not so horizontal, so if you look from a low down angle it will look wonky compared to the top edge of the skirt. Below is mine, from what I think you mean....http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx80/the-jonsonator/DSC03540_zpsd92000c5.jpghttp://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx80/the-jonsonator/DSC03539_zpsf1ea3d86.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
