Greenman Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'm not sure how you can stop rusting on wheel arch edges, inevitably the paint will be frequently chipped off by stone chips and it's an area consistently exposed to moisture and salt. On the 981 the front and rear wings are just about the only steel body panels which is annoying given this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Are there actually bodyshops that will cut out sections of arches and weld in new metal as opposed to replacing the entire panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. You could probably get a section you need from a scrap car, rather then having to get someone to fabricate the metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 If you know of anyone in Scotland then let me know! All 3 bodyshops I've used in the past seem very, very reluctant to even go there unless it's a proper panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
