i had a quick look over and ordered a few bit from jk to get me started. i bought 2 tall rear arches, 2 lower rear corners and 2 cab steps. im going to tackle the drivers side first. i finished work at early enough today to make a start and more importantly as im working outside it wasnt raining. i took the cover off below the rear window and attacked it with a flap disk.

also went over the seams as they were plenty of bubbles

i managed to get the old wheel arch panel cut out and the new one test fitted in place



so the side panel is in pretty poor condition it looks like the little channel that holds the removable cover on has been holding water behind it which has rusted the panel. is this a common sort of issue? what is the best way for me to tackle this? is it possible to get a new rail to hold the removable panel on at the top or is it the sort of thing i should have a go a making myself?
