Finishing rear arch

WK 26 2/2/13

This week I got my new power tool for grinding back welds as recommended on the Volkszone forum. It was great. Really helped to take back the welds in awkward places and where you have to get upside down.
New power file

Welds taken back, Seam sealer to go over remaining welds so not worried to much about taking these right back

Underneath the car.
With that done I finished cleaning up the last bit in the rear arch and sprayed it up to keep it good for now. I think it looks really good, one quarter of the bodywork done, probably not the quarter with the most work and still got underneath and the body pan to think about !!!

Then i moved on to preping the front passenger arch. I cleaned back all the rusty parts so we can see what's what and will be able to get on to cutting it out and making up new parts next week. There were a couple of bits of rust that weren't obvious at first.
Here are the bits of rust that will need repairing on the inner front passenger arch
