bushwhacker Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 If you have a mig fix it, then lash plenty of what ever you use to stave of rust with. You know you want to ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 It is a pig to fix, only cure though is cut it out and rebuilt if you want it to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco_al Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 get a pic up, that'll help. new arches can be had for about £35 quid, and aren't too difficult to fit think they are held on with about 4 spot welds and a bolt into the quarter panel at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
