How wide did you go with the spacers? Any camber machined in?
Are the beam mounts shallower/shorter then standard?

Been a while!


Wow surprising how much of the 1/4 panel you can do away with if you want to.

What do the kits come with in way of a wheel arch liner? I'd be wanting to do everything possible to stop any of the cut metal getting rusty. Obviously paint and a tonne of underseal etc too but do they come with liners?

Pete I've done similar on my Scoob with the WRC kevlar panels I'm fitting.

I've cut quite a lot away, but in hindsight this has more to do with following the original build format in the Prodrive era than by design as such. If I did it now I'd may be retain more of the original panel - actually in my case a lot of it was rusty now that I think about it - which was the catalyst for doing it in the first place.

That said, building in fresh metal to extend the arches adds a lot of strength back into the area. The turret will benefit from another strengthener as will the sills near the back when the jacking points go in.

This is a mock up of the steel when I was cutting it to size, which shows how much was cut out -



And a pic before the weldathon began



I think if you could fold and lip the original arches you would be fine with a twintex arch liner bonded in. If you have to cut a lot out for a tub inside the arch then fresh metal to keep things strong would be the way to go.

Cheers

Ryan I think you need to choose front shocks with care to get ride height independent of damping adjustment. I think you need something like 60-70mm drop if I've read correctly. KW V2's could be a good way to go - be wary of the cheaper stuff!
