Rusty wheel arches

Post by pauled » Wed Apr 02, 2008 2:01 pm

My rear arches arches are bubbling up quite a lot - is it normal to cut them out and replace - can you get replacements?

Thanks

Hi Pauled,
I have the same problem, had the van 2 years, bought it with a lil bubble, now got lots!
I was gonna have a go at painting/filling it meself,(summer job), will let you know how bad it looks!
Can remember doin a lovely job on a Vauxhall Viva in the 80's. forgot to get the resin for the fibreglass so ended up using papier mache. wonder if its still about!?

Cut it out and plate it. Nothing else will last 12 months.
