Looking great Trofa. Question: have you stitch welded around the wheel arches or used sikaflex?

Hi Rob nah mate she is all mig welded up. I wanted that smooth look plus also didn't want anything cracking when she gets the horsepower dropped in. Takes a fair bit of time but I think the result will be gr8. :driving:

Thanks for the response. You've certainly done a great job, looks sensational.

I've just end cleaning my engine bay up....not sure which way I'll go.

Keep up the great work.

Out of quriousity, will the bog crack over time due to the different materials? I'm not asking to doubt your method, rather to clear a thought I have.
I don't know any other way, but just thought I would ask.

Sorry I beg to differ. I have slid the cowl underneath the bonnet skin. Then it has all been glued & filled. I have done several this way & no dramas. Just as long as the back brace is stiffened & reinforced all should be good :driving: :party:
