    Default Arches Cost

    How much would you guys rekon having a new arch welded in the rear would cost?

    I will get the arches from sel imperial, i only really need one doing, the other one is not too bad, so basically price for cutting 1 old one out and welding/filling over new one and then painting (although i dont need the paint to be mint, just protect it coz the cars gettin painted in a couple of months)

    I know obviously the price will depend on each bodyshop but Im talking roughly!

    I got Dawsons and courtney just down the road from me so I wanted a rough price from you guys before I foned them well expensive bastards!

    Cheers

    Yeah I know all that but at the end of the day neither of those bodyshops are gonna rip me off because their reputations are to good for them to loose them!

    Thats why their prices are consistant and high!

    Any prices? Just rough estimates!

    big companys are bothered about ripping you off, they have penty f other mugs to ripp of behind u.

    not saying that either of these companys would tho.

    As for the question, it shouldnt be that expensive, not much weldings needs to be done the rear arch! if your not bothered about the pain, paint it yourself.

    Default bodyshops

    I think that you'll find the owner of Courtney drives a Cossie not a GSI.

    I am the guy that has the GSI from courtney. Any way you lot should be in support of a NOVA driver not dissin them.

    I can speak to the owner and get a rough price to repllace and spray the arches. Will post a response as soon as I know.
