Those wheels look nice.

Just for a piece of mind really, i can see a couple of rust parts and with the rust of the arch if I can get it so that the dirt etc to more "fall off" as such with paint and lacquer may help with the rusting in certain areas.... plus it will look nice before wing goes back on haha

Are you doing away with the plastic liners ?

No mate but with amount of dirt etc that was under the liners made me wonder! It aint gonna do any harm i suppose but just wanna make sure its good and rust free as poss, when i have done all the inner arches etc im going to get it all undersealed, refurb the subframe and hopefully get some of those bushes that you have, get a c70 rear axle and fully recon that, just want it all looking new and sparkly lol

I was going to go down that route but have decided just to fit the C70 anti roll bar

That's come up really well!

Make sure you don't lock any moisture into the panel when you paint it, especially the areas that have some surface corrosion as you will accelerate the corrosion process which will counteract your intensions.. I'd probably opt for waxoyl over paint as it's got corrosion inhibitors built in but it's your choice
