How did you determine where the fold lines needed to be? Was it just a case of taking them out as far as possible whilst leaving some metal between the door in front & the fuel filler behind? Whatever, it looks the part.
Your previous comment about needing to make wider flares made me smile ..... I wondered “what for”. I can’t see them disguising your monster truck tyres from an eagle eyed plod! Ha ha. Or did you just want to keep the mud off you paintwork.

Not sure if i am looking at it right but did you actually cut any metal out of the guard or just fold the lip out then fold it all back in to the line you marked? Everyone i know just takes to the guard with the grinder and removes the extra metal. I have never seen it done that way!

Yeah sorry I didn't get a pic when there were 2 lines drawn. When I go the next one I will take a pic of that..
So once I drew the new line which becomes the fold line a drew a second line about 25mm down from that line. This become the cut line and the new tab to attach flares too.
You can kind of make out what has been cut in these couple of pics. Basically the old tab.
The problem with just cutting it all off you then need to face fix a flare or weld tabs back on. If your concerned you could add an extra few cross cuts to help accommodate the curve but it folds fairly easily.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Hi cuppa, I drew the line while the wheel was still on and just by eye. At both spots the panel is double thick and once cut separate and are the inner and outer, I treated them together and when i fit the flares will bolt back through both sheets .
Lol yeah I used shears to cut the long grass the mower missed when I took the wheels off.
Yeah the big flares are to convince my inner voice that I don't stand out like dogs balls and won't get pinned if I run flares that cover the wheels. Did I mention I Love Night driving
