It's your best best, £30 a side on eBay, given how little there is to them, £90 a side is a rip off.scottybeemer wrote:i got some repair panels from ebay

The fit is very good, good luck trying to bend sheet steel by hand, how bad are they? Some have used another outer wheelarch if just the lip to curve has gone

I believe its just the lip thats rusty at the moment although rust does form from inside and spread out hopefully its just a case of the inner arch lips that need cutting and welding.
I doesn't look bad on first glance although grinding down the outer quarter panel lip reveals rust which i believe to be the lip of the inner arch. Hopefully its not deeper then this.
