V70 corrosion

Gaztech · Feb 2nd, 2019, 17:39

I have some rear wheel arch corrosion near the sill. Has anyone had this repaired before with great success? I am in the Glasgow area and I am looking for recommendations for a place that will do a good job fixing corrosion issues so it lasts another few years?

No recommendations for Glasgow, but its typically just surface corrosion from the stonechip protector film being removed, if I'm understanding your rust. Stones pepper the paint, water gets in, etc. Shouldn't cost too much as it really only needs sanding back and repainting. Make sure to get the stonechip protector film replaced.

Unfortunately the corrosion on this one is beyond sanding back but I have put so much into this car I think I will get it cut out and repaired

Used one paintshop in Rutherglen.cant rememember which but got both arches fixed for 200 pounds 2 years ago. It was near the centre.
