Jones - The aluminium sheet I used around the rear wheel arches was 1 mm thick.
And yes, I was definitely looking forward to seeing the car again.

Return of the Swordfish - Part 1
In preparation for my car's "home coming", I pruned my 'garage' wall…
I was still sweeping up when JY Classics arrived.
Before it reached its final resting place in the driveway I temporarily parked it on the road.
( The Renault Clio behind gives you some idea how low it sits. )
Note: The guy walking away in the photo had previously stopped to say he loved the car.
While the car was sitting level (ish) on the road, I also took some measurements of the front wheel arches.
( To give me a better idea of impact my sloping driveway has on the gaps. )
Currently, there is an inch and a half difference between the gap at the top of the arch on either side.
And this is how the rear wheels currently sit.
Obviously, I couldn't resist taking a "comparison" photo while I was at it.
