Dan i rememberer looking at the state the front end was in the other year at PV and tbh i thought to my self then it would be quite bad els where etc, you get know how bad they are in general from the suspect certain areas conditions etc, did you ever see my mate Mike's Silk Violet GSi? we did the same on his on the rear inner arches/chassis legs, and the front splash guards, common issues etc.
Looks good though mate, glad you have persevered and saving it.
I might to do some welding on the new loon project..

Well I didn't get a lot done today. Should hopefully get the rear inner arch and maybe out arch completed next week though, that is if it don't snow any way, if it does it just means I will have to get a bit colder. Such is life lol

Best thing that, trimming the dirt catcher bits on the back panel that obviously just leads to ROT :thumb:
