I finally got time to start my computer up and load some pics of the last months progress.
 concentrating on the arches in this instalment , bought from Smcka back in October are these 4x steel rust replacement VW Golf mk1 Arches..





 

Some more...

Moving onto the rear arch section, these are a bit more aggro as the inner arch needs hacking about to meet up with the outer by using new strips welded in to keep strength up....and keep moisture out.
 




 

Getting close to completion on 1 rear arch, on the inner the welds are smoothed out and wiped with 3M Drip Check to fill any small gaps, next is spray stone Chip over the whole area for the factory look (yet to do !)..
 




 
The rear is yet to be blended in as i want to get the other side fitted before any filler goes on. the grey paint is etch primer which i sprayed a thin layer into the gaps to skin the bare metal over to keep rust away then applied it as normal. Also the blue is going to be the final colour choice...not sure its background either VW Golf Blue or Opel Corsa( Astra) as it is a mis-tint 2pk !  

Love the arches...

Bugger me, I wish I was half as handy as some of you guys!
 
Looking sensational Marty!

Those Golf arches look awesome. And great pics of how you did it too.
Love your work. And glad to see more progress of the old Anglia.

I have been busy with making moulds for the Angular again....as well as get a friends car painted at the same time ! 
here is the pics of my fibreglass bootlid, i modded the latch to accept an Escort locking striker and key barrel...with gas lift struts it weighs in at 4.5kgs , as to the original lid weighing almost 12 kgs !!




My rusted out bonnet came up ok after some filler and a quick coat of cheapo 2pk , which i use so give the fibreglass mould a decent gloss.

Also i had time to paint the roof of the Angular white as it was originally..



This was the last bit of rust to fix in the body shell, i had it done in an hour. Making up new channel wasnt very hard at all !

I threw out the old Anglia interior light in favor of going a Escort light, all i done was make a plate with a hole that fits the light in and weld to the frame !

As i mentioned earlier, i had a car to respray... a Escort...and he wanted it done in ultra high gloss jet black,  bit daunting bit i got at it. 
The car is(was) a UK import 1972? povvo pack 1100cc drum braker, it will be running a quite hot 2.0 Pinto , Wilwood brakes, Ford Motorsport LSD, Turreted rear shocks, panhard bar, etc etc...
These 2x pics are just before i painted it


Her are some shots of the car shortly after i sprayed 4x layers black 2pk and 4x layers clear 2pk
