yeah going to flair fronts into some kind of spoiler
ive got a pair of wheels for the front but they havnt got much dish on them & are 6 stud
the other set i have are too wide to use
converting hubs to 6 stud shouldnt be a prob but woud like some deeper ones really

so far ive managed to do the o/s rear lights (pics on facebook)
thanks to ashley exhausts in walsall who found me a offcut of tube the right size for £10.00
yesterday as my m8 was spraying a mk2 escort van all i managed to do was put the first coat of p40 on
im using landrover defender light units replaced with clear lenses as they fit perfect into the tubes
so hopefully this week should see the other side done and the underside of the rear valance finished

bit more progress this week ( still cant load photobucket to pc)
so far this week the rear skirt bumper is fully welded to back of van
and started to box in the rear quarters under the van
also the rear light mounts are now fitted and glass fibred into shape
with the light units trial fitted
so hopefully this week should see all the welding on back end finished
and some blending in
then i just got to refit engine & box run it round the site to get suspension to settle
and then start the side skirts , front arches & spoiler
(sounds so easy lol)
pics on facebook as we go along
