Most good motor factors should have these in stock, good luck as this is a hard job to get right

Al B. It's a 94 facelift 1.6 zetec Escort and the rear wheel arches are starting to go in the usual place.
Had a guy lined up to do them,but now he's saying he can't get the panels.
TBH i think he's bottled it.
i've got a mate who's says he'll do them if i get the parts,unless anybody knows someone near to Guildford that could do them for me. For C**H

These arches rot on the rear from inside out as well as from stone chipping on the lips.Repair is to eradicate the rust completely, quite a specialist job.Make sure you waxoyl the cavity after repair for it to last.

So you talking about the outer skins .. or the bays? I did manage to find some wheel bays a while back, but I'll need to check again.
Hadrian Panels keep arches ... So do SEL, I think .. but their site is down (again)
