Hi All,
First time posting so hope it's OK to post this here. So, my new purchase has had a wide arch conversion in the 80s (i believe). The conversion is all metal so not fibreglass. It's also had a colour change, original colour was canary yellow L11E. Firstly, I do like the wide arches at the rear as they can house some big original ATS wheels, but would it be worth reinstating the original arches? Secondly, I prefer the car in red, but, as I'm fully restoring the car something is telling me that I should return it back to the factory colour. Would it be more desirable to go back to Canary yellow? Finally, has anybody seen a wide arch conversion like this before? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Vin Attached thumbnail(s)
