Arch Rival Welded

Another busy evening today... We tacked the arch in place, stuck her door back on to check the fit and with a bit of presure to the inner top of the arch she ligned up a treat ;)

Took no time to get the welder setup and the progress was quick....

Bit messy to look at now, but with a touch of gentle grinding and seam sealent it'll look like a factory job. Nice coating of zinc primer under all the edges should give the steel a chance under the stone chip and sealent.

A bit of an anyoying seam unveiled itself to us, but this tapped back nicely and it sits flush to the door and upper b pillar.
The carpet tuck is perfect and again, after some gentle grinding, will look as good as the factory job.
Worth every hour of hard slog and the extra cash for a genuine arch! Would reccomend it to anyone considering a cheaper repro!
