looking good though , so how you going to do the rear arches now ?
You could say that, Nah the way I see it as now I've got my own workshop I can take a bit longer to get it all exactly how I want it and make it easier for my future plans.
I'm going to add the mounting points for my roll cage and make a frame work for a removable raised rear floor, then I'm cutting the arches out about 1-2" higher and making new inner arches. It'll just make maintenance easier if I can just whip out the rear floor whenever I want, no crawling around on a muddy floor to change a rear diff etc. The arches are also getting cut out enough so I can run 35s in the future if I want to.

Got the rear arches cut out to exactly where I want them tonight, the Damn fuel filler got in the way so I just did my usual, got rid of it
I'm going to have to run a custom fuel tank anyway so it doesn't really matter.
