I have been using the search function on the forum for people that have had their arches done.
Seems to be a few different ways of doing it.
Fibreglassing it over.
Cut out the weld completely and have a varity of difernt panels welded in (i.e from an RT and made to fit) Seen people weld stuf directly over the top.
Whole new rear 1/4 fitted and welded in.
Looks like its going to cost anywhere from £300 to £800. for a pair.
I have 1 arch that is in dire need of sorting. especiallly as this evening i discovered its worse than i originally expected as the pressure washer punched a hole under the fuel cap!?
the other arch is solid but could do with sanding back and priming.
I shall attach pics for you to judge for your selves for the worst one.
Does anybody know of any decently priced bodyshops in dorset/Somerset?????
I Value your advice.
