Which Panels do i need?

[The Hairy Camper]

Hi people, it's the new guy again. Firstly I want to say a big thank you to everyone who helped me out on my other body work post. Thanks to you, my van is now on the road for at least another year

So it seems to be slowly warming up and my van needs some panel/welding work done. It's the rear that needs most of the attention currently, specifically this area:

Someone was telling me that it is best to source panels from vans being stripped for parts, but i'm guessing the rear is a common place for rot and i'm probably best looking on sites like brickwerks etc. ???

I've found this online:
https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/t3-parts/b ... right.html
But these don't seem to cover the above panel, which is where i have a massive hole Any help? Not sure if the above section is salvageable on my van?

Am I going to need new rear arches...what do you think?

Can't see the pics but can imagine..
Just done both rear qtrs on my van.
Schofields do all the panels that are available, you may still need to fabricate stuff, but having the majority of panels makes life so much easier.

Cheers carrera, a couple of parts i've got in my brickwerks basket are from Alan Schofield. What do you think of my rear arches (if the pictures work)? Fixable?

[937carrera]

Everything is fixable, but is it worth the time and effort when the rust will likely come back if not totally eliminated and you'll spend more fixing up a rusty panel than replacing it ?

The paintwork on my rear arches looked better than yours - this is what happened after a brief affair with a grinder



I bought new arches
