newage rear arch panels/kits
 
Alright people.

Got some rust coming through on one of my arches on my blob widetrack and looking to grind back to metal but was wondering if anyone knows of any places that sell rear arch panels for the newage should I keep grinding and find that the problem is a lot deeper than expected and it meeds cutting out.Think I've caught it early but you can never tell with rust until you start grinding away. I've had a look online but only arches I've seen are for the classic shape

Thanks in advance

as you can see it was bad, the support bar crumbled to dust! when we first looked at the arches it didnt look too bad :

but as we cut and grinded away we found out how bad it was. they say by the time you see bubbling on your arches the damage could already be quite bad and the pics speak for themselves. good luck with it and maybe you have caught it in time.

Is this the rear support bar that sits under the bumper? I've been looking at this and mine looks pretty gone haha. Is this a main dealer jobbie for the new part doesn't seem like the end of the world on that one?

The rest of my car seems quite sound other than front c brace which I know is a common problem for these.

It's only one of my arches that's an issue and it's lower down towards the skirt side.

Going to investigate in the next couple weeks and see if it can be saved. I'll put some pictures up. If not it'll be handed over to a bodyshop that can hopefully do something with it..

That's because the seller is International Motors, or IM for short, who are the importer of Subaru. ;)
