I carried on with the arch lip, firstly cutting the bad stuff out.

I made a strip and folded it like I did a few years ago and then cut it so I could create the curve for the inner piece

It then got welded on to the the car

Once happy I put the finishing strip on

I had a problem with getting into the garage - the door handle fell off mid opening which was awkward!

I had a rummage around and found a gearknob I machined at uni so I drilled it out and drilled it to take the grub screw - it's worked Plus it looks awesome!

As promised the fuel line holders

After the wheel tub was changed a few years ago I had to weld the boot support bracket back on but I wasn't confident enough to do it at the time as I'd only laid basic welds so I gave it a go

Whilst in the boot I tidied up some holes I made when making temp exhaust mounts

In between all this I tidied up the exhaust as I wanted to run the car without being told off by the wife for making too much noise!

This was the worst offender!

I then passed it over to my friend Pete who tiged it up for me

I filmed it but I need to get it uploaded somehow???

As a bonus I have given the bike carb idea a 2nd go because why not! I had to bend it so they actually work!

It's going to be bent up a bit more then welded up and clean the carbs up/ balance them
