Metal Maggots
Cal:
That's what the fella told me. To be fair I think that was a worst case scenario quote as he hadn't actually seen the vehicle.
sogster:
the hole is right up in the corner. It will be an MOT failure as my mechanic explained to me.
The link to the website was good. might be ordering a couple of new arches and see if we cant get them fitted.
many thanks to all of you with your suggestions. i'll let you know how it all ends up and take some snaps.
Sogster.
Elmo:
Had a hole in exactly this place on mine as purchased, bloke who welded it said it was as easy to patch over as it would be to cut the repair panel so that the quarter panel could be left in place.
Weld, grinding and satin black paint and the job's a good 'un :)
Range Rover Blues:
Yeah I've done several, as long as you can cut back to good metal it's not that hard, just remember that special dimple in the arch is to clear the button for the childproof locks, leave it out and the door lock gets damaged.
Jake:
Mine went in the same place on both sides.
When my car went into the body shop recently i got them to repair them.
As far as i can see they patched from underneth and filled the top.
They disposed of the bad rusty stuff too.
Looks great now.
Click me for a picture.
:D
