Nice :) looks like you could do with some castor adjustment too, and maybe make some room with the flares to allow this.

Looking very nice I can't wait to see how it all looks when finished!!!
You might have a bit of a side business opportunity going there...

Seeing the test panel went ok I started on the front for real using the 3mm plate template to fold against.
Is working a treat

Demacoz gave me a set of old front guards to try a slightly different method for the fronts seeing they are only single skin.
Started the same by cutting the guard just above the first 15mm crease line , then used some 3mm plate cut to the profile of the next 50mm crease. Bent it to match the curve of the guard , then clamped it on the outside. Then went to town with the panel hammer and got it close in just 20min.
It worked so well I'm going to get 2 pieces made (mirror image) of the whole guard , tapering it out to 20mm at the top of the guard so to not impede on the guards horizontal crease.
When its out to the required width I'll then weld it the fill piece, fibre fill my lack of skill and presto!

Now to get some wider front Minilites to fill'em up

Rear Miniltes are 13 x 7 (-ve 3 offset ) with 205 x 70 tyres - Flares made specifically to suit this combo
Front Minilites are 13 x 6 ( ??? offset - I think +pos 24 I'll check) with 175 x70 tyres. This will require flares as well cause it going too be Looow.

What are your superlites and tyre sizes?

I'm struggling to find rubber for mine that's not chunky as. I managed to get 175/60 on 13s which I think I'll be happy with.
