A proper job on the arches is £450+. But from experience unless they chop out the old arch and rust, it will be back in a few months.

I saw a classic that Jarvis was doing a similar repair to, and he had to chop out a lot metal outside the wheel arch area and as for the rear screen area it looked like an even big horror story.

That car in all honesty should to my mind have been written off it was that bad.

thats what this person has done, he cut out all the rust from the rear arch.

Looks a tidy job that mate in all fairness, I need to get mine looked at very soon as i have one or two small bubbles showing themselves on my pass rear arch, seems to be getting quite common on the classics now as they get older.
Good job done
