Decided to tackle and hopefully the last of the body work. When my mate (the previous owner) started this project he asked the panel beater to role the rear guards for large rear tyre clearance. The panel beater rolled the entire rear flanges, not just the top area. I hated the look and decided to try and fix it. After rolling the guards they bogged the flanges flush with the inner guards. I removed the bog to inspect but there was no way I was going to be able to pull the flanges back down, they were just stretched way to much.

I had some front guards which were rusty and needed a fair amount of work, so I decided to sacrifice them and cut out the rolled lip flanges. The front flanges were close to the shape of the rear wheel arches. with a bit of work they fitted surprisingly well. All welded in and the arches kept there shape. Only took a light grinding, epoxy prime next, then minimal bog needed and Hi-fill and I'm done.
