Or, just cut them out!
no arches
Re: Frits Volvo 360 Rally / Drift - build -
just like VND said - cutting them out and raising them for extra clearance. something im going to do to mine very soon i think as i want to go lower but theres 10mm max between top of tire and top of wheel tubFrits wrote:thanks

dont think no inner arches is a good idea as it will weaken the mcphearson set up quite a lot, unless of course you went off to add tubing which is mounted to a roll cage in the cockpit so making a spaceframe like structure almost - a vw caddy has it done ill try find a pic
Re: Frits Volvo 360 Rally / Drift - build -
Oh, clear. The arches will stay stock for now.
Re: Frits Volvo 360 Rally / Drift - build -
Finally, all the welding is completed. Pictures!!
The new jacking points.. And offcourse new protective coating..
Rear arches ready for 9J.. Outside will stay stock look/ original look.
You can't say its not ready for the next few years! :] So whats next? Making the car ready for professional painting. And offcourse painting the inside.
Not sure about the colour yet... You guys have an idea for this lovely 3 door 360?

Re: Frits Volvo 360 Rally / Drift - build -
must be a good feeling knowing youre going to be building on something thats solid - how long did it take to get it all patched up?
Re: Frits Volvo 360 Rally / Drift - build -
About one and a halve year. Next to my study, work and social stuff offcourse.
As long as I don't crash it the very first run

without a doubt;
Lamborghini's; Verde Ithaca
a very catchy and rare shade of green wich stands out brilliant but keeps a car exclusive. and, also important for you Frits; a nice colorbase for a sponsor-sticker package; white, blue and black based stickers match this color very good

Re: Frits Volvo 360 Rally / Drift - build -
how ironic would this colour look after all the rust prevention lol
Re: Frits Volvo 360 Rally / Drift - build -
Lol, rust-look ('s good) but not on a performance car if you ask me. Anjo's green might be an idea. Choosing colour is difficult to me, so many choices lol..
White looks good, but to much an original look if you asks me. Red is nice, but already seen on a few cars here (like nikdev's one) I think black could be very cool (but a bit hot in the summer), maybe yellow.. Well actually, I really don't know haha

Re: Frits Volvo 360 Rally / Drift - build -
I'd go for white too... but pick the colour from a modern car, older 'whites' tend to look too yellowish.

Mazda 6 white from the last 18months.... mmmmm, metalflake (though that was one of my plans, but so were a few others ... Mazda 6 blue, the really deep one, or their candyapple red.)
I like Mazda 6 colours
