Making DIY fender flares / wide metal arches on my MK1 Caddy Pickup VR6 Turbo build
In this week's episode, I start to widen and flare my arches to fit my wheels.
This is the same technique you could use on a mk1 caddy pickup / rabbit pickup or mk1 golf

Hi bud, I used gas. To be honest with the thinner metal on bodywork I don't think you will have a choice.

Can anyone help me with some tips or point me in the right direction? I drive a 1998 gen 6 civic hatch, i was thinking about widebody, but i got no experience working on body panels, besides, i think widebody is too agressive for my taste. I just wanna flare them a little bit to make them more pronounced, if that makes sense; without cracking, cutting, welding anything. Ive seen some videos on fender rolling, but that just pushes the lip in to make room for wider wheels. Does anyone have any ideas? Is that even possible? Or are there any slightly wider aftermarket fenders available to buy?

@GrindPalace 2 жыл бұрын

To be honest there isn't any quick wins with what you want to achieve! You either gotta get stuck in and have a go or take it to a body shop and get your wallet out. I have no experience with body panels, I just watch videos and have a go. If I mess it up I start again. All gotta start somewhere.

@@GrindPalace yea, spent a few hours on google and found a buncha discussions on "fender pulling", which should have the effect im after. and i think im gonna do just that, rent me one of those rollers and have a crack at it lol. i managed to change the clutch by myself, this shouldnt be *that* hard.
