Astra Cabriolet wheel arch

[rubsley]

Hi there, I've got a J-reg Astra Convertible in that burgundy/red
colour and I was thinking about sorting out the rear wheel arch before
selling, as it's got a bit of rust going on. I don't really know how
I would go about getting this fixed, so I was wondering if someone
might be able to point me in the right direction. Can I get a new
panel for it, or is welding the best option? Or does anyone know of a
scrappy somewhere up north where I can find a replacement? I have a
picture, if this would help.

Thanks very much!

Rory

If you get a panel surely it'll need to be welded? It depends how bad
the arch is whether you patch or replace.
If you're selling it then just use some newspaper ;-)
