| Daz Sorry to see your rust there. But it looks like you will fix it.
Your final picture does show some manufacturer's holes in the inner wing which can be used to squirt in Waxoyl or Dinitrol. These should be found even under any underseal. Mine were covered with tape beneath the underseal - but may be sealed with grommets instead. Seems a good idea to check these holes are covered with tape or grommets to prevent water ingress.

| Take heed of this folks. The more cavity protection you give your BraziBay the less likely this will happen. ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer @brazilianvwbay | |

| Just because I've no idea, how do you stick the arch back on? Is it all welding under the "whitish" paint. What do you do, tack weld it in place and then fill-in weld around the edge, finishing with a disk to polish before paint? (I've never done anything bodywork; it terrifies me. Part of the reason I bought new.) | |

spot welds takes a long time you need to move places so not to distort panel lots and lots of spot weld almost all way round then grind down spot welds paint with zinc paint then fill and sand fill and sand and a bit more fill and sand then paint in 2k high build primer and sand and repaint then wet flat and paint in top coat | |

| Not that I would ever attempt it, but I'm interested to know, from the catalogue pictures the repair panels appear to stretch to the seam on the next panel.
Did you cut yours to fit, and did you have to have to set the edges back under the remaining panel to get a flush fit for welding? ________________________________________________________________________________ Growing old is mandatory Growing up is optional | |
