Is there anything on a Scoob that isn't expensive*?*Apart from the appearance/feel of the interior plastics of course.

They charge that for replacement arches (can only get them as a rear quarter), then you'll have to pay lots to have them fitted and sprayed.
Much cheaper to have a bodyshop cut the rust out and fill/weld the hole.

I thought there might be more comments this thread with imprezas
Coming up to 17 years old and many showing signs of rust on the rear arches especially just under the petrol flap
I've seen a few subarus with bubbles there and with my plans to keep my ten year old / owner classic fir another ten years I'm wondering how to tackle it when rhebubbles eventually appear
