another update..

put some 'sistafoam' under the fibreglass, basically an expanding foam, gives it a bit more strength and will keep it all solid..

no pictures, but i put it in the sides which i havent glassed/bogged up yet :D

not to mention you can get just about any car panel in fibreglass now, ive never seen a 'saggy' fibreglass panel

neither have i, a mate of mine is a panel beater... i.e he works with fibreglass alot, its a hard substance once set.... how the hell can it sag :S lol

d/w about whoever said that mate, continue with ur project, i wanna see how it looks when ur done

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

      Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...

      But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.

      That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
