Rear Arches



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

[perry oaks]

All the filler has masked another previous poor repair.

The old replacement arch is removed.

[perry oaks]

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.
