The front inner wheel arch was rusted through and needed replacing. I bought a replacement arch, but i didn't come with the inner most sloped section, so i will have to fabricate that.
I cut away the arch and too it back to a straight line just under the sloped section - hard to explain but you can see from the pictures.
The triangular brace between the foot well top and the inside of the arch area had also rusted through, so i cut that out. I took a small piece of steel and cut it to size. I made it with three flanges and folded one side down, one up and left the other straight. This mimics the original. The straight flange was welded to the foot well top, the upward welded to the inner whee larch and the downward facing toward the wheel which gives the brace its strength.
Things still to do are: Fabricate front inner arch sloped section, Weld on front inner arch, outer sill, a-post cover, rear arch to sill repair, rear arch to lamp repair. That should sort most of the RH side. The boot floor needs replacing as do the braces between the boot floor and the bulkhead.
