rear arches/respray S O S

[Drift God]

Hey guys need some big help, left the car in this evening to start prep on getting a respray, after the painter had his way with the screw driver to my pride and joy!!!:x turns out the rear arches are gonna need replacing. Whats the best option for me here?? been reading about a few wider arches on cars wouldn't mind something like that as long as its not too wide. Or will it be a faster option with a replacement arch if there is such a thing???
Any help or advice at all is appreciate guys. Thanks Chris

thanks, seen these before but wasn't sure cause it was 5 door if they would work.

It's going to need to be chopped and welded anyway because the arches are part of the monocoque.

Chances are your inner arches will be rusted as well, make sure you double check there condition.

thanks John, had the arches done before just 2 years ago but not as extensive, will see when things get stripped down. cheers

looks like it.

i bought these: http://www.carz2.co.uk/nissan-sunny-april-c-315_320.html?osCsid=9hg6601nggbdqbn4e24fp6jh36
1 x 60-20-509, SUNNY N14 RWA 4/5DR LH
1 x 60-20-508, SUNNY N14 RWA 4/5DR RH

which at the time (3 months ago) were only £17 - they're now £24...

 

[j0ff]

although this one looks much the same but is only £13! http://store.nationalspares.co.uk/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=35097

haven't a clue if there's any difference. Perhaps worth a call...

FINALLY!!!!!

Got sorted today with the replacement panels..... Cars2.co.uk 01684565882 came through with a set sourced out of denmark. They only apparently got two sets in so only one up for grabs! so if anyones in the same predicament as i was in snap up the last set. all the other places i listed are still talking Shit and full of uncertainty as when or if they are coming in.
