Hi All. I just purchased an XB Faimont Coupe and I'm about to start the restoration, can anyone tell me if I can get the rear out wheel archs made up any where or can I buy complete rear guards from anywhere ?

Welcome to the forums.
At this stage there are no reproduction complete panels available although there is talk of them being available soon, but no definate time frame has been mentioned. A lot of guys that are restoring coupes use the opposite FRONT guard wheel arch and cutting them out and grafting them to their rear quarters. I hope this is of some help to you. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11275994 |

^^^ What he said ^^^
A good panel shop can do the rear wheel arches from the front guards. If you're in ole Melbourne town I know of a couple whose work is recommended.

  That's exactly how my right rear was repaired, here's LH front guard wheel arch moulded in, a front RH was used for the inner part. Cheers Kerry |
