Hey all,
Ok i just scored myself a second Karmann Ghia at a bargain price...(i think...yeah i did)
Anyway as with any bargan there's always a reason why. Most of the car is solid...half even sanded back to metal. A few bits of rust floating around but nothing major. Not like my first karmann i got a month or so ago.
The main problem is that the previous owner to the person i bought it from has cut 3 of the tyre arches to make it ready for rallying. Something he never did...thank God!
This car is all complete but still needs a fair bit of work. Nothing like my first red one which i don't regret buying in the slightest seeing as all the chrome work is immaculate, it has a 1600 engine ill be using as well as any other goodies i can use etc.
So the question is, whats the best way to go fixing my wheel arch delemer? Do i make a template from my other car and use it to make some repair panels in sheet metal, or do i just buy all the rust repair panels over seas and puzzle them together?
Please vote for my first solution 😉
Any guidance would help greatly as i hear this is a common occurrence.
Cheers!
