Rear Wheel Arch Bugeye

Hey Guys,

the rear arches on my bug are mad off rust :(
Is there any "repair set" to buy anywhere?

no, once it starts you really need to cut out and weld in new metal. i have had the passenger side done on my sti and the drivers side is bubbling up now as well.

this looks good but what about the high inner arch ? right at the top of the suspension turret.

My old bugeye had bubbling rear arches, having a poke about one day and the rear shock towers looked OK, but crumbled away when I squeezed them by hand. It looked OK underneath, but water had seeped between the factory sealer and rotted the metal away. Ended up scrapping it.
