Rear Door Arch Repair Panels
« on: October 14, 2007, 14:39:05 »
Thinking of replacing the rear wheel arches, bits on the rear door area are starting to suffer from metal worm and MOT is 2 months away.  Any ideas where I can get them and is it a big job to do ?

Thanks

These must go very often as they seem stupidly to be fixed straight to an aluminium bodypanel and seeing as its also a wheelarch corner that sits in mud most of its life they should be easier to get hold of than this !

Its probably worth getting a plate welded in on the underside of it, then using a bodywork filler and some time and effort (I hate that phrase Im too bloody impatient) then filling over the plate and spraying carefully. I did something similar with the leading edge of the bottom of my OSR arch, luckilt mine is black so i just hammerited over it once it looked reasonable!

before welding patches here there and everywhere , i would check on how m.o..t s stand today filler would be a not be a good idea . wheel arch on cars can only be welded so many times. replacement panel will be a better way foward.

Patches/filler
« Reply #14 on: October 19, 2007, 18:37:08 »
the welded patch is the structural part- the filler is merely cosmetic. that will not effect the MOT if it is cosmetic, and if the patch is done properly.

AS said above- have a good dig about and see how bad it is and were else is going/gone...
