Rear Wheel Arch

Post by Drunk Aardvark »

Hi, been a while since I posted on the forum, or indeed, actually worked on the van! Been working on the rear wheel arch. It was coated with some kind of rubberised protection which did a good job of keeping the water in where the sealant had cracked. I've removed the sealant and alot of the crap metal but a couple of questions.

Is there a repair panel for the bit between the rear panel and the inner rear corner shown in the photo below?

Secondly, I have a good panel for the arch itself..

but where the arch has rusted, there's no lip to join it too at the edge.

What's the best way to get around this?

Thanks for any help. Gratefully appreciated.

There's a great facebook group with a couple of genius fabricators that could answer your query. Here's a link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1592418 ... F8S__1-vlA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?
