Just repaired my rusty rear wheel arches and tailgate.

Lovely looking example Kate :y

Out of interest, for future reference, how much were you charged for the repair to the rear wheel arches?  I was once quoted £1000 PER SIDE for my Senator to have them sorted!  But that was for new panels complete!:P

Thanks Lizzie.

Well done, Kate. A lovely job that you should take great pride in. :y

Now contact Robber Budden and tell him that you won't take a penny less than £2500. :y

Wow! That is an amazing job you have done!! Lovely car :)

My Omega needs two wishbones and a cat! So I bought the parts from Euro Car Parts at a cost of just under £200 and as my wife teaches in a secondary school, the motor department will fir it for me all for a donation to the department!! How cool is that! I was looking at getting garages to do it but was quoted stupid amounts of money!! They were quoting about £900 just for the cat!!

Stunning - looks factory fresh!
I assume that you already have a dog guard for it, Kate, but buried in my garage somewhere is one that I took from my deceased Carlton estate, if it's any use to you?
