Default Urgent FRST help

Afternoon everyone,

Cars failed MOT on some rot around the rear, welder has said to me, to keep the cost down for my sake to remove both rear arches. I had a quick look but it was late, how do they come off ?with out breaking them? Is it an easy and quick(ish) job or ?. Cars going in tomorrow afternoon.!

Many thanks
Matt

You will need to take both side skirts off by drilling the rivets out, then there's 4 nuts inside the arches either side that. Need undoing, normall a screw a the base into the arch and finally a rivet holding it to the sill below the door.

Rivets are still available from ford.
