Hiya all
I have a 1997 "Smiley" campervan.
The nearside front and rear wheel arches are rusted and I am looking into getting them replaced and re painted.
I have been going around body work firms, but surprisingly several of them are not interested. They seem to be wary of the welding involved and the trickiness of the work. I have one taker at £500 plus parts, plus VAT.
What should I look out for? What are the difficulties involved? One guy talked about the possible discovery of more rust in a panel behind the outer one.
I am aware that you can purchase replacement wheel arches (not the whole panel) but what should I be aware of? I am sure that this is a common job for the old "Smileys" so your input is appreciated!!
