If you can find a clean breaker to cut up its a better shape than any panel Hadrian can supply what difference does it make for a wheel arch repair,you are probably not going to see much of the metal anyway,where are you going to find a breaker e30 with a rust free rear wheelarch anyway :cry: :cry:...

Re: How the hell do you deal with rotting wheel arches?

you can get arch replacements from hadrians panels,still need to be cut welded and painted though,i never use the whole panel just try to use what i need saves a lot of cattying and sanding,they do outer inner arch replacements as well if you need them
