Hi,
I have some nasty rot on the passenger rear inner wheel arch on an Uno I am in the process of trying to restoring. I am starting to wish I had never started this as initially the panels seemed to be available but when I went to order nearly everything is discontinued. The rot is just under the wheel arch lip. I am sure this is a common problem on these cars. The quarter panel lip above the wheel is savable with some welding of the rust holes. I would like to replace part of the inner wheel arch that is spot welded to the
quarter panel lip. It will not be easy to remove the piece but I think it is do-able. Looks too hard and awkward to weld in a plate as the whole thing is curved.
I was wondering does anyone know if a repair piece is available anywhere or any idea how I could repair this, maybe with a piece from a Punto or other vehicle. I am sure this is a common rot area on the Uno so someone must have come up with a fix.
Any help appreciated.
