My rear wheel arches are rusted away beyond easy repair .
Previous owner used an angle grinder to make room for
bigger tyres , this is the result . .
It looks ok from the outside , but it's all body filler and polyester .
Good to last one or two years , certainly not good enough for a
decent restauration .
So I've got a problem .
I've done my share of sheetmetal work in the past , but a wheel arch
is beyond what 'im capable of .
And both the inner and outer parts on both sides need to be repared
or replaced .
I'm looking for a welded solution . No body filler or epoxy stuff or jb weld or
whatever .
So I think my best chances are to find a repair part from another car wich fits more or less ,
and adapt that . Would be nice if both the iinner and outer wheel arches were available .
Maybe somethig like the "funky fenders " we've seen in the past , I don't know .
Doesn't have to be original , as long as it looks right and respects the lines of the urquattro
that would be ok .
Anyone ever did this ?
Tips , tricks ....
