                    • Rear Arches



                      Before the rear arches can be tackled a large amount of filler needs to be removed from the rear quarters.







                      Comment






                      • All the filler has masked another previous poor repair.

                        The old replacement arch is removed.







                        Comment


                        • The new arches offered up.





                          Looks good.......except the previous repair has been bodged. There now isn't enough metal to attach the new arch too.



                          The Magnum repair arch is only 4 inches wide - which isn't wide enough - Luckily the ex-press steel panels replacement is 6 inches wide.
