Repair Panels

Post by Alasdair Mair »

Heard from an ex mechanic mate that there are Mk1 repair panels for the base of the A-pillar (sunroof drain issue has caused it to rust through). After a lot of searching I can't find even an acknowledgment of such a panel existing.

Anyone able to help?

No never seen them, what I have seen is very good tin bashing making panels by hand and in small sections, or cut out a good a pulled base from a scrapped car, but obviously only if it's a solid one.

we make the full outer sills long enough to cover the base of the A post so that its one continuous panel, maybe this is what he was referring to ?

There is a bottom bit that goes basically where the mudflaps go , round to the rear balance, but if your talking higher up, I think you might need to get fabbing.

Mine is a mess mate lol

Disassembled the entire front to get to a bumper bar bolt yesterday. Then had to cut it off as the captive nut had come off of the bracket. Complete mess on my driveway last night.
