Hey Paul,

You lucky B***Big Grin hehe, Show us some pics Big Grin

The arches are harder and harder to find new allthough good nick front ones do pop up in the second hand market from time to time and occasionally new panels do pop up from old stock. You can always ask your local Toyota dealer, I'm not 100% sure but I do think the front ones may still be possible to be ordered but expect them to be expensive. You can also get fiberglass ones from Irishtwincam on this board which is a nice alternative (never rusts againBig Grin).

For the rear the original panels are sold out. We get very lucky occasionally and have one popup on ebay from time to time from old stock but basically you can't get originals. There is a guy on here in Ireland that sells full reproduction panels but they are expensive and depending on the amount of rust you have they may be overkill so put up some pics so we can judge the best course of action.

Most people just cut out the rust and either use fiberglass and filler (but that dont work in the long run), have a pannel beater hand make a replacement part or they use an arch from a starlet or golf or something similar and weld that in. The starlet ones usually fit very nicely.

Greetz,
