Body filler is good at hiding stuff: I was grinding back some small holes in the sill seam on the weekend (which turned into bigger holes), and decided to have a go at the small (what looks like) tear on the arch. This turned into this: The top half was solid body filler, but with a decent enough weld job. It was about 1 inch thick with body filler, making it 1 inch wider than the other side. There were huge chunks of fibre glass, the whole arch would've taken three tubs of fg/wob. Also, spray job was pretty much flawless. BTW, is any selling any arch replacements/wing that sorta match the profile of these?

Golf 1 or 2 maybe , cut at a angle to join the body . Go to a scrappy and get a old wing .

Yeah I went to see a e21 about a month ago . Was on gumtree for 900.00 pounds with 41,000 on the clock ? So curiosity got the better of me and I went to see it . W.o.w it was botched and butchered all over the place with interior not much better too. Asked to see in the boot the guy said no . So I walked away .its now on ebay for 1600.00 pounds and on gumtree aswell . Amazed .

That's a useful link, thank you. We'll be needing some arches for Dad's original 1988 Justy van.

if you want to check for filler,use magnetic vinyl used for signs as it doesnt stick to much more than the thickness of a coat of paint, but a magnet can still stick easily on 1/4" of filler

I don't mind a bit of filler, I'll always cut it out and replace anyway. Elwoody, thanks for that link!!!
