  Part 5 of the body shell rebuild of my car during the winter period of December 2003 onwards into 2004,
The pictures can be viewed in larger format if clicked on
Passengers floor area needed some TLC, arond seat fixing points and where the roll cage bolted to the floor, Same as for drivers side.
A view of the rusty rear arch (the paint has been removed to see how far back it was rotten) Aston busy removing the outer arch skin,
The two sections of the arch, the original oter skin (with rust arch removed)
And the inner skin to which the new arch will meet up to.
New arch being tack welded in place,
It was done this way to reduce the risk of panel warpage due to excesive heat build up due to constant welding, When finished it will look like a constant weld around the join,
Arch Before removal, you can just make out the rust bubbles under paint. And after, just needs skimming with stopper and sealing on the back with seam sealer.
Wheel arch after a skim of filler has been added
