Thanks! But I'm still heading for the look in my inspirational photos -
I've ordered thesame arches you have on the back of Ulysses but bigger...
So they can be cut down (the logo side cut off as you did) to size and shape to suit the buggy look. So cut the leading edge down on the front arch, but leave the rear of it to (hopefully if I've measured right) nicely attaches to the firewall, and then the reverse for the back arches...?![B) B)](/media/kunena/emoticons/1.png)
Something like that (for the front)
Another job for Mr. Angry!
Durable and cheap (£35 each) if those pesky trees try and steal them!

They certainly do... I’ve admired the Ford EX Concept for many years, but only recently found the yellow Brazilian ATV / UTV (Quad) which is more practical inspiration for a UK / Jimny based buggy, as it needs a bit more weather protection (and undergrowth?!), wading capability and more likely to pass through the gestapo tests (VOSA / DVLA)
On a more positive note... Jamie just delivered the wheel arches :woohoo:

I'm sure you will give it your best go but if you need assistance and it means having the buggy there, I will personally force people to help you! :laugh:
