that will be interesting to see. ive just had a couple of quotes from insurance approved body shops. the plan is to use the reversed front wing method for the rear arches. been told I have to supply them. I assume mine is like most classics, the nearside rear arch being worst. this one needs some inner arch repair, but the offside looks to be ok. been quoted £265 per side plus the front wings for repair sections and a further quote of £1000 to do both arches, the latter can go forth and multiply

Could you post up a picture off it

Seems to be the price I've been quoted as I want to see what one looks Like in the flesh
