The wings are knackered, not a major concern.

I'd have a good look at the rear arch in the morning.

That's right for £610 With 11 months mot I'm not that fussed but the bulkhead ,shock tops and boot are rust free and I planning on some sort of wide arch kit for the back also a m tech kit engine is a little tappity but am I right in thinking they adjust ??

Yes they are easy to adjust. M tech kit is smart, id leave the arches the standard width.
