Welcome Mark, take a look around for any bongo breakers, (especially breakers that are virtually stripped) Then ask if you can pop along with your angle grinder/plasma cutter,and remove the arches, (if they are good of course).

Then graft them onto your own bongo,once the offending rusty arches have been cut off of course.

Depending on the quality of the work,you may simply be moving the rotting area's to the welded/seamed area 6 months down the line...

It all depends on the prep of the bodyshop that does the work.

If the welded seam isn't COMPLETELY rust proofed/sealed, then the dreaded tin worm WILL return i'm afraid.

This may be of interest to you Bongalo - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... heel+spats - not a replacement, but may hide the area once treated? And look good
