RyanML Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 my dads mate is doing it, my dad trusts him doing odds and ends on his escort cosworth, hes quoted me £375 for both rear arches and bonnet, but ive gotta buy the rear arches, not cheap but this should come back like new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykez69 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 not a bad price for a good job to be honest IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl160180 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 When I had the rear arch dnoe on my old escort the repair panel was less than a tenner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eetaylog Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 if i were you (and depending on how long youre planning to keep the car) id get my new arches rolled after theyre done, itll stop the rust coming back so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehotminute_191 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 ive seen the escort arches repaired then treated with what seemed like hard rubber compound smeared all round the inside of the arch and along the lip. not like underseal but actual rubber. good idea because it wont soak up water and should keep it off the metal. worth looking into that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eetaylog Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 nice. get some piccies up when theyre done, im tempted to get mine done at some point. does the 375 squid include respraying etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo0 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Need to get mine done soon before they fall apart lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caled Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 £375 including respraying the bonnet? That alone would cost a fortune. Is probably easier finding some breaking one in the same colour on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good deal! Where did you get them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
