lil update

decided to see wat excatly needed doing on 1 of the inner rear arches
so finaly after a long day its almost ready for the new panel, just a lil tidying up and itll be ready to put in

the inner arch was fooked to say the least from well everywhere lol and a few dodgy patches from previous mechanics didnt help so rather than piss about i choped it all out and make it look decent. Amasingly the outer arch is fine just a lil more surface rust to get rid of and itll be good as new 8)





sealed the filler neck panel aswel as they are a fooker for starting rot

hopefully more next week
