Re: anyone willing to sort my archs?
the rear ones aren't to hard to be honest.
the problem comes with the fronts as if you want to weld them in higher up (virtual lift) then you need to cut the bulkhead to match where the front wing joins the body tub.
I can easily guide you on where to cut from my sofa but its a bit far to travel
Obviously there are other ways of repairing them but as your gunna go to the effort you might as well gain some lift while you are at it.

Re: anyone willing to sort my archs?
I chopped all the rist out and used 2 trailer arches off eBay and cut the down the middle and welded the 4 new 3" wider arches in and bought some wide offset wheels to go with the arches but you could have them the standard width if you wanted...
