This is how I measured it, rim to rim was almost 9" on the rear!
Also did a 110 mile round trip to get my wide arches last night, getting the arches cut out today and going to rivet these beasts on!

Welding what holes?
Nah I mean cutting the metal in the arches out dude, going to hammerite wax oil them so they don't rust

I'd be careful, pretty sure that's all structural, you'll need to plate the resulting hole or your boot floor will be decidedly floppy
Huh? :O I'm just cutting the edge of the arch lips out, this won't be structural will it?I'd be careful, pretty sure that's all structural, you'll need to plate the resulting hole or your boot floor will be decidedly floppy

The lip that normally gets rolled is where 2 panels are spot welded together, cutting it off will seperate the 2 panels :O
Oh b0llocks! So gonna have to re-weld? Any other way? Like bolts? Bolts are easy
Good job I didn't just go at it Jeremy Clarkson style. Cheers for the heads up!

I'm going to use an electric water pump so I can fit an almera engine, the motor controller costs £130, I'm building my own for a fraction of thatWell I'm bloody sure I don't.
Best of luck from me - I'd just buy the new one....well, I'd have too, wiring a plug is my limit.I'm going to use an electric water pump so I can fit an almera engine, the motor controller costs £130, I'm building my own for a fraction of that

Well I might have done if I already knew how it worked and if I had the money. No guarantee it'll work, might still have to buy it yet!

Looks horrid :/Mmm, that weight distribution
Quite like them myself...
I think, now that I'm closer to 30 than 20, I'm starting to really appreciate estate cars in a way I never have done before. ^^^ that one looks awesome!

1st Micraversary!
Hmm, the force is strong in this one. When you hit 30, start lusting after beige Volvo 240s you will.
Your last ever trip will be in an estate (of sorts)
Haha! Brilliant
