Rear Wheel Arches .... Helpppp!! Empty
PostSubject: Rear Wheel Arches .... Helpppp!!   Rear Wheel Arches .... Helpppp!! EmptyThu 12 Aug - 14:51

First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section .... I wasn't sure where to put it!

Does anyone know where I can get replacement pieces to repair my rear wheel arches on a classic?

The lad who did my paint job, rubbed it all down and filled it but the rust has started to bubble up again a month down the line !!

He says the arches are too far gone and need replacing - but he doesn't have anywhere to get replacement parts and nor does his supplier.

Any help would be appreciated please?

Thanks Basketball

May be worth getting some rear arches from a scrapped car with good ones, never seen replacement panels apart from full rear quarters.
