Great work, its always good to see someone taking on jobs themselves

What sort of welding did you use on the rear arches?
 
Thanks for the comments dudes! SPek9 il get a few pics up tomora of the rear arches just cut out all the rust and welded a few new pieces in.. I've a wee bit of OCD when it cums to my cars have to be perfect always.. Lol god knows how my girlfriend has put up wif me as I've spent more time in my garage than wif her as past while! "/ lol
