Well i have been inspired by the efforts of people like dasdubber and beerdoc and others and their pic stories on bodywork...specially rust removal馃憤 so i thought i'd give it a go myself.
getting my red beetle back on the road and there was bad rust in the corners around the rear window...is that called the "C" pillars? anyway lucky i still have a donor beetle or two...
[/img]
the rust was in the lower corners but so was it on the green bug so i cut the top corners out and swapped them diagonally馃

finally found some time amid lifes dramas to do the last bit on my beetle
[/img]
i have already welded a bit of 40x4mm flatbar in there...that jacking point is going nowhere but up!
cut a similar piece to what i needed out of my green beetle(or whats left of it)
[/img]
then had to shape it a bit
[/img]
fitted in nicely
