Rolled up my sleeves and started tidying up the rear guards. Being an ex comp car, some quick fixes are evident. Both rear guards have been pulled out, the lip unfolded and bogged over, then quick spray of matte black. The left rear guard is the worst condition, so i'll start here. It is pretty rough and jagged, the bog is all cracked from the pounding it took from a delaminated tyre at some stage...

| Metal to rubber contact here. |
 |
Aim is to straighten the camber up to 1 degree and shape the guard to suit.
|
 |
First step: chip off the chunks of cracked bog, and scrape it back to bare metal.
|
 |
I want to shape the flare in steel to require as little bog as possible. I'm trying to decide whether to fold the lip back under or not.

Need to sort the inner guard rub. The cage base plate pushing down is not helping.
