    like this?

    Yeah, thats gonna allow you to fit wider wheers, is it difficult? How you gonna mount the shocks?

    Nice pic of the 1/4 gone in.

    During my previous Nova ownership, I often considered a rear arch repair panel, but was advised against many times. Didn't bother in the end.

    For those who have replaced the 1/4 panel because of rust, what was the inner arch lip like when the outer arch came off? I'd be worried if I changed a 1/4 panel that the arch inner lip part that under it would be rusty/rotten, thus making the whole idea of changing the outer panel a bit pointless.

    If that were the case, I assume you could patch the inner arch lip if required though, to ensure that the car had good metal on both sides of the lip?

    are you going to extend the rear axle or just going to use dodgy spacers/offsets?

    it won't need anymore weld i folded a lip round on the outside and welded that up. although i might box it into make it neater

    when i took the panel off the inner ach was rotten so it has been cut back, i'm still not sure what to do with it.
