    Yeah it I looking a bit sorry for its self but I will have it back to how it should be! Also doesn't look like I'll ever need to worry about my arches going rusty again as I'm getting carbon ones!

    All you need is the floor pan and roof and you've got rid of 90% of rust issues then

    If your spraying the whole car red though it seems a shame to cover the carbon goodness

    No no I'm not painting the carbon. Only the metal that's left will be painted red. I would have bought fibreglass parts if I was going to paint it

    normally the inner tub is spot welded on to the 'outer' quarter. How will you bond the 2 sections together when you fit the carbon quarters to give it strength?

    Glue. There are proper strong bonders out there now.
