the Rust spot on a bug between back window and gutter strip
seems like the late bugs are prone to this one, you know between back window and gutter strip where it starts out as a crack across...then rusted ?
Dug out the crap that they jam up between the motor bay and that side 1/4 moon vent but was to late.
So has anyone made up this repair section or know where to buy ...even overseas?
Rob.

You can't get a replacement panel, no one makes one.
you have a couple of options, find a wreck thats not rusted out and cut the area u want and graft it into yours or if u have the know how make a new
one yourself, if u can't get a sheet metal worker to do one for you...
all a bit of a pain but it can be done with a bit of effort. just remember to make sure all the foam crap is out of the gap between the two skins as
its burns real fast...

I did this recently. all you need is a sheet with a very slight dome to it. Very easy to cut it out of something else, like a roof section or
something. I have left over bits of roof, so if you want i could post one to you? i'm in sydney.
