anglia58 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 hi, here in holland, the 4 doors all have the expanding foam in the wheel arch, but on both sides, it's the same with cars from belgium, it's don by ford, i don't know why they did that, maybe to make it stronger, when you need to fix the arch, you have to take it out, or it will started to burn when you are welding, cheers marcel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pack 2000 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Is it to help stop the salt rust for snow winter European cars possibly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephens_xpack Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Maybe for strength. I have been told, but don't quote me on it, that even later on in RS Cosworth models, that Ford used expanding foam on certain parts of the shell to help strengthen certain areas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
