all depends on what needs doing

small surface bubbles wont cost as much as rotten outer arches that have spread into the inner arches :)

how bad is the inners, you may get away with a few plates.

if the inners are rotten only at the edge where it joins the outers and if the car isnt going to be concurs get a new inner arch "lip" welded on along with new outer lips
