Odd request, but I've a seen a cheapish low mileage mk1, but the sills and arches are a little rotten but not too much, so I want pictures of your arches and if you salvaged them or just put new 1's on please....

It also has some damage but the rest is m_ _ _ ish lol, its rust-free in the normal places, battery tray, boot, etc

the damage...

take some of said rust - tbh if you are any good with a welder then you could have most of the arch missing and it would be salvagable. At the end of the day it's all down to how much time, money and effort you're prepared to throw at it...

Click the link in my sig for the Ades Drive for examples of replacing rear arches and how rusty mine were...

From the pics there bugger all wrong with that.
Rears look like a clean up jobbie. Door needs a tap fill and paint, and get a new front wing.
