Its only the one arch and know the guy who is sorting it so getting it done at competitive price.

Live n learn!

I didn't know that car was rusty? I'm replacing both arches as we spk. Costing me a fortune too 500beans.

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah, similar to me mate.

Pain in the arse.

Dint look that bad when I bought it TBH - just seems to have got bad fast!

 

[Scott]

I mentioned the rust in my description when selling it, i didn't describe it as a minter.

The rust is really bad looks like somebody has tried to hide it aswell.

Certainly not me, i didn't touch the rust whilst i had the car.

I didn't know that car was rusty?

It was picked up on by somebody in every picture thread i posted whilst owning the car, i didn't try to hide it.

Good luck with the mot Jim, got the willy going in for it on wednesday morning too.

 

[JoelDee]

LOL unlucky mate, hope it gets sorted

 

[Ali]

Scott, wasn't having a go mate. These Mk1's are like that.
Pics say a 1000words. My 172 looks fit in pics...not as good in real life.
