Rear arch replacemwnt guide

[marc69]

I have been looking through the how to guides and can't see one for rear arch replacements, have I missed it or is there not a guide there?

Its the same for most 2 / 3 door cars so any guide will do.

If you cant find inner repair panels buy two outer's and use one as a donor for the inner repair..

No there's not a guide but if you scroll through Agee projects you can how it's done. There pretty simple to fit just make sure it lines up with everything

Check my thread out Iam just doing mine. I got the inner and outer panels the lot for £60 on ebay.

Thanks, my mates saloon has two dodgy looking bits on his wheel arch and although I plan just to cut out the two bits, I have told him to get a complete arch in case once I start grinding there are surprises............

It can get scary once you start cutting and realise how bad the rot really is.

Lol know what you mean. Always end up cutting more out when you start chasing the rot.

Looking at eBay auctions inner repair panels are available easily now.

I have had a look on ebay, I can find inner repair panels for 3 door hatches but not for the saloon. It is a two door saloon, is it likely the hatch inner repair can be made to fit?
