need to get a better picture but it seems to be something has got under the paint im guessing petrol as its the petrol tank and its causing the paint to bubble and where its going bare rust there doesnt seem to be any major damage its all surface but i need to get it sorted as its got under the paint and is going down under the arch.
just after a ballpark figure on a repair and paint as its the fuel cap side any one help us out be appreciated need to get this done soon as in the time i have had the car its gotton worse.

Willl not be cheap. Reach up from inside the wheel arch and you will probably find that it has rotted from the inside out. Mark twos are famous for this. If this is the case then you will need a welded repair panel on the outside and the inner arch will need patched up. On top of that, you will need a rear quarter respray. If I am right then you will be talking hundreds.

its not rotten inside its only the outside for now but i cant see if the paintwork is ok only feel there isnt any lumps. any had that panel changed and let us know how much they paid???
