DIY rear arch rolling/mods

has anyone done this?

the fronts are easy being single skinned you can just cut the inner lip off, but with the rears being double I'm not exactly sure how to go about it?

I don't think I'll be able to get my hands on a proffesional arch rolling tool, but I've heard you can cut the lip away and then re weld and obviously seal up again properly

anyone got any pics of work done either DIY or proper body shop work?
or any more details?

cheers

no-ones had any arch work done to their mk1s?  :dontknow:  :cry:

on edition 38 in the mk1 section is a guide on making your own arch rolling tool using a jack and a template that was in an old VW mag... ill find the link
