Default Repair rear arches with front wings?

Hi,

As titled, can you repair the rear arches of a classic with a pair of front wings? I take it you can't get repair panels?

Thanks in advance.

Never done it myself (plan to though !) - but have read a few times that if you take an O/S/F wing the profile of the arch is the same as the N/S/R & vice versa.

Pretty sure someone tho will confirm this later along the thread.

I'm planning on getting it done soon so hopefully this is the case!

If you are taking it to a descent repair shop then they won't need front wings- they should be able to recreate the shape
