Started by cutting away the outer lower valance to highlight the state of the inner.
Bothe lower posts and valance corners are gone.
These are the reinforced chassis mounting points, both look the same.
So off with the lower front clip and lower A posts.
I have discovered what is either an original left over piece of the front clip (there is crash damage to inner cab floor) or a dodgy patch plate....wobbly at the edges but secured in the center?? Was there a plate that sits on the front of the inner valance that drops down to sandwich in between the outer upper and lower panels? Cause that's how it was at removal.
Detail showing the last bits of the inner lower valance and this strange section from the underside looking forward..
Not so much left now but at last some shiny steel of the chassis front edge. Repare panels from Autocraft come with new chassis brackets.
Looking up into the A posts.....still need to be cut back to the cab floor,.
Entropeas great pile of junk!!!! But I am now thinking about the rear cargo floor!!!!
P.s. VW heritages ebay store has some split side panels that have dents that could be purfect!!
