Hi I need some advice on replacing the rusty rear arches on my Bugeye wrx. I have been told that the front wings are the same profile and they can be used also there are new repair sections available for the classic does anyone know if there are for newage.

 

The newage front arches are a different profile and the classic arches do not fit.

BUT I am sure a very good body shop could make them fit, depending on how my money you want to spend.

 

I think you might have got some bad info... classic front wings can be used to repair rear classic arches... not so with newage..

 

A decent body shop can surely weld new metal plates in.

 

Interested to know the condition of the rest of the shell if the arches are that rusty?

 

The rest of the car is very good it looks like they were repaired badly with the previous owner that's why I want it done right because I don't think there are many 2000 registered bugeyes around with only 60k genuine mils around.

 

The rear inner arches ok? The sills and floor to sills ok? Chassis legs?

 

all the other bits are very good I used an inspection camera inside the wheel arches and there was no rust there. I've taken the side skirts off and the sills are solid.

 

That's good, just cut out the rust and weld some steel in, the hardest part will be painting the inside to stop the rust comming back from inside out.
