Does anybody know the best way to fix up flared rear wheel arches for a coupe? Is it possible to cut them out from a ute/sedan or are they too small for a coupe?? If someone can help me out with some info that would be much appreciated.

Patience and skill, butt welded and metal finished, it will be like original. I would expect a very skilled person to charge between $1500-2000 to do a metal finished job on the rea

They are different. The reverse scolloped bit around the edge for example. I have 2 x HK 327's that need the same surgery. I have 3 x HK Monaro quarters for donors, but need another left hand one to get enough
