rust repair 101
we have all picked up that beetle guard at a swap meet that is other wise straight except for a minor defect/rust. I have found that the best guards
to repair are the original german guards but you must find one that has straight unbent channels on their edges as if these are damaged it is almost
impossible to straighten and stop it flexing. have attached some photos of a front guard i repaired recently. hope it is helpful to some one.

first trim a section smaller than the patch you will fit. this will allow patch to slide over area to be repaired for accurate measurements.

patch cleaned, area trimmed to suit. make sure you trim back at least 20mm larger than rust perimiter to eliminate all rust and make welding
easier.

patch welded and ground smooth. minor warpage if you move the welding around the patch and do not concentrate heat in one area. better to warp lower
than to have raised area for painting.
