I bought a classic about 14 months ago. The only body work issues were slight bubbling of the paint on both rear arches. Rest of the car was mint.
Two months ago I got the arches rolled...and off comes the paint. Ooops!
I took it to a classic car restoration place in Keighley (North of Leeds/Bradford) on Monday, picked it up 3 hrs ago.

Rusty arches? What rusty arches?! Steve has done a very, very, professional job on both replacing the rusty arches and the paint job. I'm over the moon.
Was quoted £700, but when I got the invoice this morning...grand total of...*drum roll*...£580


Couldn't be happier.
I'm now considering a full respray...Hmmmmm

£580 to replace both rear arches?



Seems awfully cheap?

That's not what the missus said this morning when I got home and was I was asked "So, how much did it cost then?"


I'm assuming his overheads are down being out in the sticks. He specialises in full restoration of classic cars.
I don't think he get's that many "general" body work customers. Although I could be completely wrong.


It might be worth noting that his dad owns Richard Henrys Motorsport in Bradford.

I have been quoted £600 by a similar classic old school restorer so seems about the right price

If the job is as good as mine, and I am sure it will be, then you will not be disappointed! I've been smiling for the last 24hrs

He definitely replaced and didn't cut it the rust and repair? I wouldn't have thought old school would just replace parts when they could restore parts.

Sorry, my wording in my 1st post may have left some confusion.
A good 6"-8" all around was cut out.
The arch was then repaired.
The rear arch panel was not replaced with a new one.
