Alreet, ive managed to grind down my arches so ym wheels will fit under them :D

now they are ground down, whats the best method to stop them from rusting now as it is bearing the metal. They need painting obviously but is there anything special i should put on them? lol

cheers

you can buy a sealer from ur nearest bodyshop suppliers. its made for covering joints etc. it comes in a tube like silicone and can be painted over. it dries rubbery and strong - use that, its what ur bonnet skins held on to ur bonnet with. smells quite nice too :o
