Brilliant car mate!, my project at the moment is talking a similar direction!just wrestling with the same fiberglass arches at the moment! How you attach yours?

Pete,

I attached the fibreglass arches by bolting through the inner flange of the arch but also coating the interface with black sikaflex (or similar anyway). The sikaflex that oozed out when squeezed together with the bolts was best left to dry then cut off with a knife. Don't have any pics unfortunately but it came up alright.

worst mistake was trying to wipe the excess sikaflex off when wet as it smeared along the guard and was a bugger to get off.

scott, nah those wheels were no good - made me crash! [88]

front suspension is finished now so its almost ready to go. have to hack off the front arches and refit them as the wheels no longer sit in the centre. They also hit the front apron when turning due to the scrub radius so need to do some trimming.

don't know when next event will be - maybe nightmoves.

The boys last night wanted to watch rally cars last night and stumbled on the footage taken when you and Johno rolled the very first one - as soon as I can get it off the handi cam and onto the computer I will upload it

Remember its never the wheels or car - its always the navigators fault
