480 rear wheel arches

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

480 rear wheel arches

Post by cambor » Wed May 24, 2006 7:02 pm

hello all, just bought a 1991 480 and the rear arches are tatty I have been reading posts on the 440/460 arches but could anyone tell me how to go about fitting them, do you have to cut the old ones off, do you have to pop rivet / weld the new ones on and then bodge the joint, any help.
many thanks Rob. :help:

Hi rob,
may I be the first to welcome you to the club, as a newbie myself I can say that the members are helpful and friendly.
Anyway here's the link to an arch restoration thread (the search function isn't brilliant but you get used to it - a bit)
