Lads.

Does anyone have any experience with these http://www.carz2.co.uk/mazda-mazda-9098-c-256_257.html

My sills at the corner of the rear arch are rotten. Id rather not reshell as i want to keep my own car and i am aware.of how much work is involved in welding in new sections. Does anyone have exoeriwmce with replacing a rear wing or don this repair. Ill be carrying out the work by myself. Or even if someone has experience with spurious mx5 panels?

Thats a great find! Only trouble is its gone up a bit further than that. The inner sill will really help though so that link is invaluable.

Sorry, had my panels fitted after the old rust was cut out. Rust started to return a year later, paint bubbling, so I gave up at that point.

If you're doing it yourself, cut the metal well back.
If you're paying someone else to do it, use someone good. As I have learned, "buy cheap, buy twice"
