After I've got hold of some new panels, I'm in two minds whether to replace the whole rear 1/4 panel (3dr uno mk2) or just use the 'arch replacement kit' which is about 5-6" wide around the arch.
what it comes down to is labour required to weld either panel in, as my welding skills really aren't upto this kind of stuff (or it may be and I'm being overcautous) .
I would be preparing the metal work myself (so either stripping and grind the old 1/4 panels off, or cutting and nibbling & fettling the arch kits into shape. then hiring a bloke with a welder to do the work?
anyone any idea's, or has had it done before.
oh and the inner archs are pretty damn solid, although could do with some touching up at the edges inside the arch.
