Have noticed that their are no rust repair sections available for the rear wheel arches on the lh lx . Has anybody made up these sections as they look difficult to make up and keep the correct curve. Mine have rust bubbles and i know as soon as i start grinding,i'll end up having to replace a substantial section of the wheel arch.

Took a grinder to the wheel arch and it's looking pretty ugly. It's dented in as well as rusty. the rest of the rear 1/4 is pretty dented as well as there is cracks in the paint, obviously a lot of bog in there.

Its looking that the best option may be to cut off the whole quarter panel if i can find a replacement.

If anyone knows of a car for wrecking in WA that i can cut the rear 1/4 off i'd be grateful.
