best way to do it is to cut out the shit metal and weld in a repair panel, fill & prep it before paint.
If you fill the rust hole it wont last a month or 2 before it starts to bubble...trust me!

Cheers for the posts...![god](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/dieu.gif)
G18rst, looks a mint job that, my arches are no way near that bad, but I want them right before it goes for full paint...
Has the replacement arch been slide between the inner and outer pannel? And is it welded from both sides?
MarkC... will let you know, cheers![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
Thanks again all, anymore?

best tip i can give you is dont cut off too much off the repair panel in one go do small amounts and do your weldin a bit at a time to if you get the pannel hot is will warp and lose shape

inner and outer panels completly welded. best advice i could give make sure they fit before welding (that is critical) and but weld them making sure there is a gap between the two panels the width of a hacksaw blade.
