Inner rear arches and spring mounts - needed UK

[2002FjordBaur]

Hi US 02'ers,

 

Long shot i know but thought i'd try anyway.

 

I'm UK based and i have a RHD 73 2002 Baur being restored as we speak. The inner rear arches are in need of some serious reconstruction https://flic.kr/s/aHskPva8NA and unfortunately, i've just discovered that those parts/repair panels are not available, nor can i locate a donor car. My body work man has mentioned that most available repair 'patch' panels are not good enough for what i need. However, worst case, he can fabricate but i'm trying all options to get either original parts or 'perfect' donor parts. The part numbers are: 41145403140   &    41 to clarify. (image attached)

 

I'm not sure the viability of getting parts from the US or even if any exist over there but there may be a solution via this forum - fingers crossed?

 

Any suggestions/thoughts will be gratefully received!

 

Cheers

That is some serious tinworm damage, you'll need complete arches and maybe more after removal of the old arches.  put a parts wanted ad on this faq, someone may one or both.    No association with either of the following but a brief search brought up these two and there may be more.    NMNA

complete archs are pricey and used not cheap

 

good luck with search
