joer_vr6 0 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well last night i decided to take off the plactic trim over the arches and the plastic side skirts of the vr6 only to be greeted with a shed load of rust, its quite bad and i have know the basics of fixing rust but i think this lot might be to much for a D.I.Y job. has anybody had any experience of deep rust on arches or sills that are completlety rust through? i know i can pay for some one to re do it all but if i can do it myself i would rather do that.Anybody shed any light on this? or possible costs of a third party sorting it out for me?I will post pictures up later on this week when i get a chance.

Lukey. 381 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 i did my rear arches and sills myself, i wouldnt say it was a small job. mainly as you ideally want to strip the interior so safeguard against fire.i have lots of pics of what i did here http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?344740 Link to post Share on other sites

Ian_rogers 0 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I paid £320 for full fabrication and weld of sills, that was on the cheap n wasn't repainted Link to post Share on other sites
joer_vr6 0 Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 oh no! right looks like its a job for me then i think i am going to have to grind all the rusrt right down to the metal and see what parts i need to cut out and replace. you can be pre fabricated arches cant you? like an arch repair kit? still dont know what to do with my sills that might have to be a paid job like. Just want to get it all ready to be sprayed by the end of the year Link to post Share on other sites

VeedubVR 0 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Im getting all my arches sorted when in bodyshop. Taking the sill covers off aswel but im not looking forward to that bit. Is it always worth cutting the rust out even if it just looks like surface rust? Im getting all 4 arches rolled and the full car painted. (need to get a new drivers wing though cos that isnt worth repairing) Link to post Share on other sites
