Spent nearly 3 hours drilling out the seized in screws just so I could remove the cracked/faded plastic arches.

    I had to do that on mine a while back, the drill ended up slipping and going through the 1/4 panel as it turned out to be made of filler :D

    it's not what I was expecting to be honest and have seriously gone off rivnuts.
    One of my quarter panels is also full of filler (one of the reasons to removing the arch) but that's because the wheel arch/quarter panel seam has been pushed in creasing the quarter panel. I bodged it with filler a few years back and want to fix it properly, as it's bugged me ever since.
