Arches needed

[David keohane]

I'm getting all the body work done on my car (in particular, the arches as they are rotten!) and the body shop has told me to try and get all the arches so they can weld them in rather than build them. Anyone got some they want to sell?

I got mine from here...

They're the 4-door car ones, but they do line up reasonably well.

Check the rear turrets before the arches get welded as if the arches are rusty the turrets usually are too as the corrosion starts at the horizontal seam on the outside edge of the strut plate, have a look on my fb page (warpspeed performance) to see what you'll be looking for.
In my experience welding the arches up when there's corrosion in the turret just holds the moisture in allowing to to run down to the rear airvents and sills meaning they go next.

Listen to this man, he knows

Sounds like good advice, alternatively, also looking for someone to do the work! is this something you can do / know someone who can?

I'm not terribly worried about my arches; yes they need replacing, but it's the hole in the strut tower that I'm most worried about.

Thanks Keasty
Yes I can do the work but I'm fully booked into 2018 for resto work.

You need to take on more staff

 

[warpspeed]

Haha try finding someone that can do the job, turn up on time, be honest etc etc lol

Very few and far between is that these days.

You could try less sleep and no tea breaks ha ha. A credit to your work by the waiting list

Haha I work 80+ hours a week as it is....
And I've just taken on another unit at the back of my current one.
