So fitted a found couple of steel frames and welded em in plus a couple of cross braces.
And then roll over with just a single mattress in place to cushion the upper gutter edge.
Lean back at the tipping point.
On the floor supported for heater channel replacement on one side.
Really considered the tradition of only repair, but with some many sections poorly repaired previously i don't have much choice, the good news is that auto-craft already do the lower closure panel repair. VW Heritage have 1 last right original...... for £250!! Not sure what to do now....she don't warrant such heritage.....re-pros are all around £100..............comments please...sponsorship of purchasing such an original part please register your interest with heritage!!!! I will upload the process for free as always!!!
Bit a clean acid and primer.
whole heater channel out, not much to it but so integral to the cars structure and strength.
inner post is solid but the inner hinge skin is gone, lots of choice here from red red to autocraft repairs, spoilt for choice here! What a small benifit, having exposed all this i noticed that the lower hinge thread is gone, so an easy repair now!!! Needs a small lower outer wheel arch repair once the heater channel is fitted.
Lots of work to do on this rear quarter, so much am considering an whole new side at £ 340....genuine of course. Good repair lower body section only at £20??? then the bits for rear wheel arch and rear bumper mounts........mmmmmm
