Paul888 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi my GC8's rear arches are fairly rusty not the worst i've seen but bad enough,inner arches are good . Any idea on cost to have an arch done with paint in the uk ? debating whether to buy a welder to cut out the rust and do it myself or pay someone but funds not good atm .. 😕 cheers in advance Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Just took arch liners out and had a good look with a torch doesn't look pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I spent quite a bit of time cleaning and painting my inner arches on my 94 sti .  Even though I've kept the outer and inner arches clean it's started to bubble on the drivers side rear [emoji15]  After investigation it's being caused by moisture in the boot being trapped behind the boot liner and sitting on the rear arch/ chassis leg [emoji57]  Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul888 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 That is clean lol i checked mine a few months back and cleaned out the crud and sprayed the inner arches with rustproofer, just caught them in time but unfortunately the outer arches have now gone on one side bad and just bubbling in the other ... i've bought a mig welder so will cut out and replace in the summer when it's warmer and drier . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
