Here are some pics of a arch repair on my old 216, it was a good job and cost about £120 in total.I think the arch is still looking ok well i hope it is anyway!





















And the finished job, the black at the bottom is waxoil that has run down the seam, Thanks to J& R's CUSTOM paint shop of Ystradgynlais Swansea for their patiance

Hi there,

Just been looking through the repair pictures, pretty tidy job. Just out of interest, do you still have this car? The reason I ask is I noticed it has the origional MK1 alloy wheels on it which I have been looking at for my 213 for over 3 years now to no avail. Do you have any idea where I could find a full set either in good condition or needing refurbing?

Funny you should say that Sleaford, i believe the car has changed hands a few times since and the new owner was selling the alloys:

From that thread it looks like the old owner might have been buying it back but worth a PM or two to find out i guess.

Well i am wanting to buy it back but so far the PM'S iv'e sent have gone un answered.
