Sorry mate, wasn't sure if you were still after the pics or not.......too be honest, I'm not sure they'll help you much, but here they are anyway:-

o/s rear arch, cutting out the damage:-





Bit of a jump here.......for some reason missed out the welding on and making good bit. Excuse the use of blue paint, I had a whole tin of it that I used to help find any imperfections. As you can see, decided to repair the fuel filler whilst I was at it:-





This was the o/s ready to spray up in the correct colour:-



Now the n/s with damage cut out:-



This one might help you a bit........this is with the new arch welded in and I'm making good:-

Now check out what Hazel did to the car about 5 years later:-



Check out the angle of the rear wheel:-

cheers for the pics, now i no i should just scrap the car, looks to hard for me to do plus i got the o/s sill to replace too. how much should this little lot cost to do roughly??
anyone???
cheers again rich

If you're only going to scrap it then why not give it a go........nothing to lose and possibly lots to gain, if nothing else.........experience.

Before you do though........check over the rest of the car and make sure there is nothing else that would render it all beyond economical repair. Wheel arches and outer sills alone are not a reason to scrap a car, in my opinion.

Sills from Eurocarparts are around ?10
Wheel arch repair plates look to be around a tenner each too.

I remember veng used to be top darts for repair panels, I dont think they exist anymore though.
