Update:
So after weighing up all options with the current state of the arches, I decided to go for overfenders. This seemed the best option with how the bodywork is at the moment. 50mm are readily available but as I'm only running a 9.5" @ ET6, I thought they'd be too much and I would need too much spacer to get the fitment. After speaking to Leon at EPR, I sourced a set of 25mm panels at a bargain price.
Then came the work....but back outer skin, slit inner skin, welded up, cut back...blah...
This is a section of filler I took out 
Trial fitted...one very productive day 
Got some POR15 and seam sealer to get everything sealed up:
Rivets have been ordered, should be able to finish up this week. Big thanks to Rusty and Seb for their help!

Looks like it's just left the factory mate. Paint match is perfect.

Im not sure if you've realised he was being sarcastic and owned him - or are genuinly just a nice person oblivious to the fact he was being a cunt

Probably a bit pissed that he also found out that his new car had been majorly twatted against the walls at a drift arena. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a cut n shut, the state it was in previously.

Bless you lot....don't you ever grow up? It's an old Japanese car that cost me £4000. It's never going to be a brand new Bentley and to be frank, I couldn't give a shit. I'm enjoying it as a new project and love the car to bits! Now we've got that out in the open, let's stay on topic please and stop being so bloody predictable.
Got the first coat of POR15 on tonight, fingers crossed should be able to finish up this week and get the fitment sorted

Mines worth about 4k and theres no rust on it
I do love the overfenders though. If it turns out anything like seans, it'll be awesome.

So...all four corners of coilovers were seized! managed to get rear two and p/s front off, freed and cleaned up real nice. However, front driver was solid so I had to cut the foot off:
Managed to source a new foot from Apex and job done! Car is now sitting where I want it height wise. Alignment and new tyres tonight! She's getting there!
