Wheel Arch Woe's

Hi All
Just visited the Body Shop where my 240z shell has just been blasted and had some bad news. It turns out that despite my belief that the shell was practically rust free, it does have rust in the rear arches
Although the shell is otherwise in very good condition, it's also been revealed that it has had a poor repair done to both outside arches (basically welded on top of the original arches without cutting them out first), so to make good, I now need repair panels for both the outer and inner rear arches. I've tried Mike Feeney and Motorsport in the USA and both are out of stock, they are still available but a delivery date is unavailable at the moment. So I'm hopeing someone reading this might have some panels available that they are not planning on using in the near future?
Ideally I should also replace the sills while the shell is in it's current state, so again if anyone has any please shout up.
This maybe a long shot, but if I don't get any panels my restoration is going to get delayed as the garage won't be to happy about my Z taking up space on the off chance that they may become available.
I'll also post in the wanted section.
Fingers crossed
Paul

Your pics only show the inner arches but if you want outers is this any good to you?:

Looks a useful buy to me.

Hi Rob, yeah saw that but unfortunately it looks like it's in Ireland and he's un willing to ship.
But thanks for the thought.There's nothing to see really with regard to pic's of my outer arches as they look ok in appearance, but on closer inspection the repair that has been done is a really poor quality and needs re-doing.
