thanks Ian , i'll pm u 4 his number .
Pallet 30 - rear arches where to start depends on certain factors, such as - are the sills ok , rear lower wing edges , inner arch lip condition etc
.
As I dont know what your level of panel working / welding is then its difficult to explain the best way to go about it .
cheers - jon

final lap - onto nearside now , rear wing looks like its had a dent repair in past and it wasnt that good - cos rust was coming through- . removed all paint and old filler , plus the surface rust (thankfully not gone too far) - just wire wheel on a drill did the trick . New filler etc - now nearly ready for spray putty then flat back and eventual stopper before priming and top coat.
sill and arch to do as well - but probably wont post pics etc on this as its same as other side.
