that will be interesting to see. ive just had a couple of quotes from insurance approved body shops. the plan is to use the reversed front wing method for the rear arches. been told I have to supply them. I assume mine is like most classics, the nearside rear arch being worst. this one needs some inner arch repair, but the offside looks to be ok. been quoted £265 per side plus the front wings for repair sections and a further quote of £1000 to do both arches, the latter can go forth and multiply

i am using a drivers wing to repair passenger side arch, but ordered a whole new drivers side arch from subaru as my dodleg is firked at £126 + vat it aint worth spending 4hours on cutting and welding new fabricated metal, which would require filler, £700 was labour and paint to do all that i said, i have to supply arch and wing
