My Daily driver is a 2008 Crafter, but needed a little run about and by chance driving down to meet some new friends in the Southern Highlands of NSW I saw this on the side of the lane which ended up being owned by someone i Know! this little green bug.
Its funny you might sell your dubs for various reasons but your eyes are allways on the prowl for hidden gems in sheds yards etc, and im allways asking farmers if they ever see any call me!
and then it turns out to be a friends?? go figure.
any woo its mine all mine 😂
heres the worst of it!
now is this pan salvagable? a drivers side quater replacment will be done but I'm unsure about the bottom of the tunnel pressed plate it has some rust holes in the mid section found hammering around.
Im I able to repair this area "professionally" and get it re registered? in NSW?
this is the only rust issue in the whole body, thanks to kids playing in it as a cubby house, forcing the rusted door hinges it's fractured off the inner bit that holds the inner part of the hinge bracket.
looks like i might have to cut the pillar to re weld then re weld it back??
take the front guards OFF the cut the metal section out of the front 1/4 panel you will be surprised what come out of there
Best repair section for the front pillar is from VVDS really good quality and will fit up easy
that body is so clean when you get it off the pan get the water and air hose into action to was all the dirt n grud out of the inner panel and hack saw blade works good to get into all the tight and thin areas to unblock the drain holes get some rust converted when it clean then some good wurth or similar oil / wax
