Wow, time flies by. I've done jack $hit on Fergus or the other beast lately, too busy preparing for my 80 metres of retaining walls I have to put on my block prior to building.

I had my first opportunity the other day to finally do something so I attacked the guards with the angle grinder so they don't get ripped off. I (roughly) folded the entire guard lip in as well so it looks pretty neat considering.
The next problem was the inner wheel well. To fix that (this might be common knowledge for all I know!) I got the angle grinder out and made a cut in the section of panel that the firewall butts up to. I then changed the blade over to the grinding blade and opened up the slot so it was about 10mm wide. I then got the hammer out and carefully (not) belted the cr@p out of each side to move the firewall back. It made it pretty easy having the free space to collapse the panel onto. I now just need to pull the inner panels off and weld up the now collapsed slot. The wheels now move through pretty much a full arc. It might be a diiferent story under heavy cornering but I've got no brakes on it at the moment so I'll have to wait and see.
I'll try to take some photos tomorow. It looks a bit $hit as the paint is cracked from folding the lip in. Doesn't worry me as I'll paint it at some stage anyway.

I cleaned up my calipers on the wire wheel so if the weather is good tomorrow I'll paint them up and have them ready for installation next week.

I've ordered a weld on lower control arm kit (designed for an AE86 Corolla so hopefully it fits!) that I'll make up to give me a bit of adjustability for track.




Has anyone tried to make one of these up before??
