DIY Rear Arch Repair

Evening all,

As some of you may be aware, I have two Thunders (Yes I am greedy ), and as I've just put a pie in the oven, I'll share my arch repair with you whilst I'm waiting k:

After a little of encouragement, both arches looked like this after I finished pulling the loose rust off :shock:




So I popped down to the the local breakers and picked up both of these wings for the tidy sum of £15 k:



So out comes the grinder and I get cracking.





Tack it in place and grind down the welds



Slap some filler on and sand




Prime



Plenty of Waxoyl on the inside



As I don't have the goodies required for painting, I paid a local bloke to top coat and gloss it.. The end result.. A nice new pair of arches and a much happier Jimbo! :grin:

Top work chap, looks sweet :thumbs:

Wow.... when I started reading this... well, you don't want to know what I was thinking... :?

I must say, my thoughts were totally wrong..... those arches look sweeeet!!

I'm not completely useless
It was worth the blood, sweat, tears and swearing in the end k:

Second attempt at this post, have no idea where the first one buggered off to.


Great job on those arches but surely the pie was burnt :grin:

WOW! Fantastic job, and you can't even see where it's been resprayed either!
