been a little while since updating this..
but here goes..
had a little trouble with police.. got pulled a few times, mostly due the arches corrording (read falling off!)..

mot is due soon, so need to get on and sort the metal side of things out!
1st off, custom arches..
started with new wings and rear repair arches..


so with a little adjustment with said hammer..



rolled inner beed..




then onto the rears..





touch of 'tuning' with the big hammer...





not finished as I want to extend them further, more on that later..

other things going on, finished the adjustble spring hangers




also, got a little exhaust work done, still more to do tho!




hopefully break the welder out over the next few weeks, get a bit done..
I'll update when done

Loving your high quality work
Inspiration extreme

Can you post a pic of the hanger extensions fitted please matey Thanks

[RichH]

I really fancy doing this to mine Ray. Are there any downsides other than the obvious ground clearance issues etc..?

With the spring mounts is it simply a matter of removing them and fitting them exactly opposite on the axle?

Cheers.

spotted you going sideways out of hardwick shop carpark the other week

[ray900tap]

thankyou for all the cool comments! checking in here and seeing them spurs me on

sorry for the lack of updates, nothing really to report other than welding repairs, lots and lots of them altho to be honest I haven't touched it for the last 2 weekends... but planning a session on the ol gal this weekend.

mattblackminibus.. still waiting on my new bushes before I can fit the hangers, once I have them and I've painted the springs I'll fire some pics up I promise..

richh... downsides, hmmmm... can't think of one? sorry
oh, save this...



with the axle, yes pretty much thats it, only thing I'd say is you'll need a big mig welder, really can't stress enough how good the weld needs to be...

guy88... opps...



ok, thanks again lads
heres a moody pic...
(trail fitted arches)
