Fitting the bodykit and new front wings

The GRP rally arch kit is made by MC Rallying. It was fastened to the shell with stainless steel bolts and nyloc nuts, and was bonded with Silkaflex sealant. The arches were then blended in to the bodywork using Isopon P38 filler and P40 fibreglass, which took many months of work to complete.

Finished. The rotten steel has been removed, ready for the plate to be welded on. One of the rear wings, after I've rubbed down the filler. Almost ready for priming.

This shows the fasteners in place, and in the background are the two remnants of wheel arch that have been removed with the jigsaw.
