I have a 1970 beetle and the area in the front where the spare tyre goes is rusted out. I found a panel at https://www.classicveedub.com.au/cvd_new/part_detail.aspx?parts_id=13605 and I'm not sure if this gets it all. I'm only new at this and there doesn't seem to be any veedubbers around the Mudgee NSW area. I have added a few photos of the spare tyre area so you can see what I mean. If anyone knos where I may be able to get another from instead of the above please let me know. I have emailed them but no response as yet. Thanks in advance good people.

You'll probably find someone in the forum that may have this. Would put the request in the parts for sale section.

Anyone feel like answerin the question that was asked ???

Yes - it's the right part !!!

😀

You probably already realize this, but you're gonna have to cut out the old one and weld the new one in... that one's not just a bolt-on panel unfortunately.

Other options on places to get it are all valid too.
