Thanks everyone, iam sure it will be all sorted out soon, i have ordered repair sections, but really wanting a full genuine quarter panel to put on.

Shame about the arch, tbh that's the wrong way of doing a arch repair, Nick J did a good job on his yellow SR with arches
Genuine quarter would be good, OPC have them, probably cost a bit to get it over here tho
Least you found it now
but really wanting a full genuine quarter panel to put on.
Thank fook you didn't see my new ones lol

Not much progress really, i cut out the rot on the inner arch, and after trying to get a repair panel for the inner arch i used an outer section and cut it to fit.
Now i know a full quarter would be the best idea, but i just dont have the money in the budget to get one so will use a repair section, but put it in right.
Not much to show, but a few pics all the same.

lol, right progress is that the back quarter is all welded up now, its had two skims of filler on it, going to get it sanded down today and see how its shaping up.
A big thanks goes out to kev (16v nova kev) for coming over with his fancy tool, a jogeler (sp) so the repair section could have a step put in it and tucked behind the panel, also for giving me a hand with the car, huch appreciated matey.
Since my camera decided to die, kev took pics with his phone, so when he has send them over or uploaded them then you will be able to see the progress.
