as you can see the pillock that fitted them decided to weld them right in the middle of the arch detail bit, which has been an absolute ball ache to fill and sand and get ready for paint!!!!!
more pics to follow when i get them sorted!
Shouldn't you have cut the arches down so you could use as little of the repair panel as possible to make a neater job ?
Your going to have problems with the shell soon, you shouldnt have welded all the way round the panel
why? i dint want him to weld that high but the pillock did
lol please explain this one , of course you can weld them all the way round you just have to do it in stages so you dont get distortion, and they do look like they could have been trimmed before fittng thenQuote:

I had been told you leave gaps in the welds and just filler it, as if you weld all the way round it can wrap/distort the rear quarter
