Rear Arch Repair

[Dean250]

Is it possible to buy a piece that can be welded in? My arches aren't terrible in condition but one has been repaired before, I could get away with just cutting the rusty sections out and welding a piece of plate in but If a piece can be bought then I think I will cut both out and weld the new in.

Hello mate you can use the the normal Clio one and modify as I did but if you taking it somewhere they should be able to cut and weld a plate made by them

[Dean250]

I will getting it welded by the garage but even though the arches aren't bad right around the guy said if a replacement is available its a neater Job to fully cut it out and weld the new piece in, much less likely for the rust to come back in another area too as there has been a previous repair.

Yeah I see where you coming from but there are differences with that arch compared to the Williams that need to be modified to look right

[Dean250]

I might just buy 2 of these and use them to cut a the area required from keeping the main part of the arch intact for it's shape

Which side?

[Dean250]

The drivers side has gone at the front area of the arch and the passenger side towards the rear bumper mounting area, although the lower sill area is a little weak on the passenger so was going to cut that back aswell to good metal! will see if I have any pics that show the rust!

I have passenger side but struggle for drivers.

Why is it the drivers side is alway worse ?
