Default bodywork help needed please !

looking to get the arches replaced on my RB5 the cars in quiet a good condition on the outside but under the arches its all rust and theres no slots for the bumpers to be held on etc so urgently needs fixed.

i have asked about replacements but apparantly there is no replacement aftermarket ones or anything,

is there any other models that are used in cases like this ?

or any other methods known of fixing it ?

thanks for any help

You can cut the arches out and weld in new ones. Either from a new part or from a scrap car

I also need my back arches done although not as bad as yours. I've been told you can use a pair of front wings, n/s front to o/s back, o/s front to n/s back. It's only the front section of the bumper you can use I think
