Default Mk 1 Escort arches - shop to install

Hi Everyone, I recently purchased a Mk 1 Escort and I'd like to get some steel bubble arches fitted, mainly so I can fit some wider tyres on. Does anyone know of any reputable shops/businesses in Melbourne to do the work that's done these before?


It currently looks something like this:


I'd like the steel bubble arches like in this photo:



Cheers!

Hi Monty

I too am looking for this to be done. Did you end up finding someone to do this and a cost?

Cheers jim

Hey Jim,

I rang a few fabrication places around Melbourne but no one has done it before and estimate 40 hours of labour to do it. So in the vicinity of $8k including the arches but that's not including paint.
