labour to do some of the work depends how much you can do yourself or need to pay someone


total around £2k minimum - with no labour included

this list doesn't include any other gaskets and seals you may need along the way.
id say that would get you 250bhp im sure the Lude gods will correct any mistakes of mine lol
any more than 250bhp and you will need uprated fuel injectors, cams, cam gears, valve springs, retainers, arp studs, much better clutch blah blah large amounts of cash!!

What rust have you been sorting? I have just cut out my rear arch, any tips would be handy

[dodger_4Glude]

Before you weld in your new onces check the inner arch for rust cause mine was full of it.. if ya dont get rid now it will come back on ya new arches.. better to take longer and do it right than rush it and then have to do it again in 6 months time... When you have finished it... Use plenty of wax oil inside the panels everywere you can get and make sure you body schults all underneath the arches aswell... Before you weld it all together make sure you sure some weld through primer cause their is no bare metal underneath.. good luck

[RebekahClydesdale]

Iv cut my whole inner arch out. I don't have replacement ones so just going to have to fab something up myself.
Haha thanks il need it. It's the painting that I'm going to make an arse of I think!

[dodger_4Glude]

Painting it the easy part lol

[RebekahClydesdale]

Really? I'm not sure weather to do the whole quarter or just up to the fold on it and mask it.

Sounds like a question for Ratman..

[dodger_4Glude]

Defo whole quarter... Can go wrong so easy if you go half up and i wont cost much more or take any longer

[RattyMcClelland]

Really? I'm not sure weather to do the whole quarter or just up to the fold on it and mask it.

Prime all the area you welded and sanded. Key the whole rear quarter panel up to the swage line in the middle of the panel. Make sure all the nuts and crannies are keys.

Decrease.

Mask the car up and use soft edge masking tape across the swage line so when you lacquer it produces a nice soft edge that will polish out.

Colour gets blended across the wing until it's seamless.

Relacquer the whole panel up to the swage line.

I'll try and get an example uploaded for you.
