Well the arch area can be as pain to repair, due to the amount of rot in the arch im intending to remove the whole arch and fit a new panel, will take a little longer but the end result will be good as factory, i have made repair panels in the past, but by the time youve made the panel its as cheep to buy a genuine one, you can allways cut and fit just the bit you need, will post pics of this repair in due course,

Stuntman,

We do collate the articles when they are finished, they go into a thread called "Workshop Articles" funnily enough.

I put a piece of plastic under my sound proofing when my floor was rotten to stop the sound proofing absorbing more water and making it worse. Worked well.  :D

Few More pics to add,

Started to replace the wheel arch mpanel



Removed the cill plastic trim, oh....



Removed the door to gain a bit more room



Found outer and inner cill slightly holed



Genuine arch panel to be fitted



Drill out spot welds, and un pick the one line of mig at the top edge, also inside the arch there should be a 10mm headed bolt, it had corroded away in this case



Wheel arch removed



This a shot from under the arch showing the holes, i order to repair this correctly the rear quater panel is going to have to be removed, as the part i need to repair is between the outer quater panel and the inner arch,


Holes from the top, part of the "c" pillar will have to be removed, i have cut a better section from another disco, this will be sunk in the place after the arch repair



More as i happens :embarrassed:
