Has any1 on here replaced the rear arches on their S2 or S1 i guess its pretty similar! I dont mean the kit i mean the actual metal arches! How hard was it todo,and whats the steps for doing it?

Also what make of panel did u use? An what sort of fit were they? Also if u used Ford ones how much were they?

Any help appreciated!

Its the kind of part that gets fitted by cut and shut, then smoothed off with filler, primer and paint so why wouldn't they fit ??

i'm in the process of doing it just now,it's simple enough cutting out the crap it is when you have to do the inner rear arches after wards you have to do just like a 4" patch at a time ... i'm still at the filling/rubbing stage just now ,you don't have to cut the whole arch out just until you get all the bad metal out plus it saves you alot of rubbing lol i bought a air cut off tool of ebay it was perfect for the job....hope this helps

What do u mean by that?


My inner arches are fine,its just my N/S rear that got a little rust on it(bout 3 patches the size of 2 p's) all the others are fine! I just thought i do it wihile the car is being restored!

yeah i thought my inners were fine as well ,once i tirmmed the rear arche parts of the inner arches came away not very much but i cut the crap stuff out and patched it with fresh metal....gives me peace of mind
