Sure i've asked this before but how are your arches holding up? I don't run as as low on the rear i don't think and one side has already bubbled

waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh :(

I rolled my rears without a single crack in the paint, but I took 2 of the missis' mates in the back one night and it cooked the paint haha oops! And then they started to crack and what have you but I managed to tidy them up, I wanna get them blown in at the start of next year, along with bumper respray and the odd other bodywork bits :)

I'm baccckkkk haha! Longtime no see everyone, times have been hard recently, feel like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards, but alls on the up now, been busy working away on the Arosa, and on quite a few of my mates cars, done 3 coilover set ups this month alone and two boot installs, one more next weekend too

Anyway, since I was last on my pedal box has snapped, usual job, here's a few photos

Right I think that's everything, plenty to come over winter, not 100% on what to do with the BBS yet, maybe sell/swap for something else or get them powder coated a slightly different colour, I need my rear arches blowing in and some other parts spraying, centre exhaust conversion will be happening and hopefully a little Momo team too, gonna keep the interior as I like the factory feel, just need to keep on top of it :)

Well guys this isn't a for sale post, I'm yet to right up an advert but just a heads up that once I've got my tyres on the steels, il be taking my private reg off, taking some items out of the car and it'll be up for sale, I think I'm gonna regret this but I feel it's best to move on I've had this for three years now and I want a new project, got many people on this forum to thank for helping me on my way, I'm sure many know what this car is etc so if your interested just have a read through this thread, everything I've ever done is in here, apart from one latest boot build re trim but il post that in the for sale post :)

The BBS will be staying in my hands for a while unless someone offers me the right money for them, I want to try them on the next project, see how they look and fit because I know it's never been done but no doubt they'll be too small and then I will deffinately be selling them on :)

So Clive has officially gone!

I've got hold of a BMW E30 Touing LUX, it's unbelievably clean and mega example, still miss the Arosa

A little though! Who wouldn't I've had an amazing time with that car :)

Here's the beast! Plenty of idea to come! Mostly after Christmas though as usual Christmas costs money but coilovers will be first and some wheels to get rid of these horrid lenso's that where on it :)
