The time has come to get some bodywork repairs done on my car, starting with getting the rear arches replaced. Going to go around a few local bodyshops tomorrow and get some quote. Anyone thats had this done suggest how much I should be expecting to pay?

are you just getting the arches done and left in primer or you going to get the hole thing blown over

Plan was to get the arches replaced and quarter panels sprayed. Just lookin for a guide price so that I dont get robbed :)

Make sure you check around the rear turrets and inner arches as if the arches have corrosion the inner wings almost certainly have and you need to decide how much you want to spend on welding then find a bodyshop that specialises in repairing classic cars as there will need to be some steel fabrication, and you'll get a better job

Oh and as for price, if your paying full price and not mates rates you could expect the bill to be around £800-1200 without paint, with paint it depends how much you want to get painted

i'd agree with that, i restore classic cars for a living, R's aint bad to weld up like somethings are, but if you decide to paint the hole thing i charge anywhere from £1500 which is just a quick blow over to £3500 for a full stripping, dint filling, glass finish job
