datsun 240z arches

[mart1975]

unfortunately i ordered these arches before paul spoke of his wide arch kit as that would have saved me a lot of work and i mean a lot.

i bought them after seeing terjen's lovely looking motor and tried to get a similar look, however, feck knows how he fitted them because i couldnt do it.
i decided to mount them and blend them into the body which has turned out ok.
ive finally got the one side etch and high build primed today so i can now see the small inperfections and work them to a finish.
the rear is pretty much spot on, the front has an area where it has slightly gained more curve but thats eay to fix.

i managed to get the skirts back on too and im very happy with the way they now fit.





got the other bloody side to do now

Looks spot on. I got mine too i just don`t have time to put them on yet. Looks good although i would have gotton Pauls arches if i didn`t already get those:)

I prefer the way those ones are flared .

added the base coats and laquer, still need to flat down and polish but its not turned out too bad.
actually i think it looks pretty much factory standard which is a good thing, the last thing i want is for the car to look like its been "blinged up" in halfords. :roll:

i also modified the air intake, ill be getting an apexi filter to sit in here as my current pipercross one is strangling my engine.
