A bit of an update....
Especially for those of you in Dattoland who love the metalwork / repair stuff...

my mate has done some awesome work recently..
making patchs for in front of and behind the rear left wheel arch,
and formed new customised wheel arch, with a very subtle flare, to help clear
the rear feet, once it is lowered

Bede, Hadlee is doing it for me (H-Bomb Customs & Classics)

He generally does American cars / muscle cars etc, but has done a few smaller cars like lotus 2 door cortinas, minis, Rx7's and the likes too (and of course he did Wilbur for me).
