Has anyone got any tips on replacing the wheel arch on the nearside rear on an 97 RR??
Mine has now got a largeish hole near where the door piller meets it, and has failed the MOT on it.
Rather than patch it up, it think it would be easier to reaplce the whole arch, as it is starting to rust in other places too.
i have found a new kit for about £60, how much do you think it would be if i went to a dealer and said, here, fit this.??

Sorry, my bad... she is an 1987..............
Thank Christ for that. I was beginning to panic about what the state of my
96 might be. D
Well, I dunno if it'll help, but I replaced the inner 1/4 panel (wheel arch & all) on my 79 rangy just before xmas.
As it's only a 79, and it's only for going camping in, I wasn't too stressed about nice fit, etc etc, but it seems to have held up to the Aussie dust ok.

I did find that there was a bit of a dust leak from around the access panel right in the rear corner (in between the tailgate and the filler pipe bulge), but more sikaflex fixed that too.
(Ignore the dust and dirt in the last photo, that was from driving around with the tailgate open!) If you look carefully about 25mm away from the tailgate (towards the front of the car), you can see the overlap between panels.
