Brilliant! That's the sort of thing I wanna see. Pics of yer everyday wheel arch changes. Can't get enough of them. Basic stuff for some on here, I would think, but for novices, invaluable.

Could have put that in the 'Tech how to' section. Anyone gonna do it for us?

got the other side cut off my yellow van today, more welding tomorrow hopefully, weather permitting :roll:

careful to drill the spot welds out, cutting the old panel back this high is a good tecnique for getting the body line a really nice match and a good fixing on to the old tab that holds the panel firm
