C70 2002 Rusty Rear Arches
Long shot - is anyone aware of any repair panels for the above?
Or an alternative solution? Asking for a member - thanks! Chris |

Repair panels are not available. Quite simply the C70 doesn't tend to rust and the ones that do are generally scrapped due to the low value of the cars. Perhaps the only solutions would be to cut a good panel off one that is being scrapped or get one fabricated - depending on the amount of panel needed.

If you're ever on vacation in the west of France, I've saved a pair of them off my C70 parts car

Usually they only rust if they have been damaged and badly repaired.
If you contact Karl Sabin (he is a user on here but more active on facebook) he scraps a few C70's a month so I'm sure you'd be able to secure a "cut" through him.

Unfortunately Karl doesn't take an angle grinder to his breakers, nor removes any item that may spill fluid in the process.

Chris - I'm also in the same position with my C70 coupe. Repair panels aren't available sadly, any other Volvo yes, the C70 sadly not. I'm still on the hunt for some, if I come across any I'll be in touch, even a breaker I can get cuts from.
