    ...and i says 'i just wanna f**k!!!!':nod:

    i found a brick around the garden and decided to make good use of it.
    [​IMG]
    :smash: bang bangin away...using the brick to angle the metal out. and to smooth out some crazy spots.
    [​IMG]
    apply some tape so i minimize the sanding of the whole wing. apply a little body filler. sand and spray and there is one prepared arch for some fat lippage.:thumbs:
    [​IMG]

    took the whole day. then i did two more arches, i didnt take pics though. after MOT, then down she goes on some wide shoes. did someone say 8.5?:wack: :wack: :wack:
