Foldy 05/05/2008 12:14:28 looks like he's got another set of arches and welded them on top of the others so the arches are twice the width, also makes it look lower. MK1 golf arches look cool too.
charlie ford 01/06/2008 23:22:59 hi all thanks for the good comments, the wheel arches are proper metal rally arches but i dont no where they came from they were already on the car when i bought it , and it was already rear wheel drive.
the wheels on the rear are 7x13 appliance 4 spokes and the fronts are 7x13 wellers all are steels.
thanks crazy charlie
