Time to add Nitrous!

That's the one, would kill for that bonnet as well. The nitro would also be nice

@jdeale84 That's a seriously sexy looking car, buddy. She's been photographed well too. Very SR-71, very Stealth. Ten out of ten from the West Yorkshire jury.

Has anyone got any temporary solutions to my rusty ass arches. Ideally both inner and out arches need completely replacing as even though they've already been replaced in their lifetime, they are both just a thin piece of metal with filler on-top that has still significantly rusted. I don't have £2k (which is what I've been quoted) so fix it all up as I'm a student with a part time job.

I was thinking of cutting out a significant chunk of the arches, at least as far as the rust goes, and putting some wheel fenders on to cover it up, but then I would need much wider wheels but at least that ticks my box of wanting to get new wheels, and I could do it with klarna finance and pay 0% interest over 12 months making it affordable.

Any other thoughts on this topic?

The other way to do it is to fill the holes with fibreglass.

I have already filled the holes with fiberglass but its also on the edge of the arch, working its way up.
However, that could be an idea if I could just shape it right after cutting away the rust.

Going the over-fender route will just open a whole new load of problems. You'll be chasing corrosion caused by the holes for the fixings on them and if you cut out bits of the original arches and don't replace those and ensure the inner and outer arches are still sealed together, you'll just be hosing water inside.
Definitely the best way forward in the meantime is to cut out any rust, treat the edges and fibre-glass patch the hole, IMO.
