Rotten wheel arches.
Unfortunately this article applies only to mk2 models with rotten arches. One of my project cars, an early non bodykitted had rot around both rear arches. Now this is a common problem across the mk2 range body kitted or not, especially older cars, and repair panels only appear to be available in Europe. There had been a rumour going around that the arches cut from mk2 front wings could be used to repair rear arches, so i decided to try this out on my project car, and i can confirm it works.
First off, heres the drivers side rear arch i need to tackle, certainly not the worst i’ve seen (anyone who has read my Project DARE restoration thread will know what i mean !) but still in need of attention for the MOT…
