Its not for mine, the inner arches on a friend of mine who has the same model has just had half- wings and arches done, the bodyshop guy informed him on collection that the inners are shot and he hasnt had much metal to tie the new arches in with :oops:
Doesnt matter if they are pricey, he spend on his regardless of cost if it means its done right :wink: Unlike me, on a tight budget, minimal money to spend, and it annoys him that my van is looking better than his :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: Fair enough. :D I inquired about them at Tomo, guy there promised me he'll get them for me and when I went to collect them, they turned out to be the outer arches :roll: And I was wondering why he quoted me so cheap :!: :lol: Not sure where you can get them new apart from Ford or Hadrian maybe? :? Here's nice example how to repair them though 8) I know it's rear ones there, but I'd think the principle is the same :arrow: http://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=62500#p539696
