Rusty '62 VW Beetle - Part 8 - Front beam rust repair

Sandblasted the front beam and repaired rust damage. A total of 9 patches were used in the lower part, made out of 2mm rectangular tubing and butt-welded. Filmed only a couple of them, as the rest were very similar. I did spray some zinc primer on the inside and will drill a small hole on the side to inject some cavity wax A new beam would have been the best solution, but I do like a challenge.

Just been through your catalogue of videos. What a talented chat you are ! Brave too cutting off the frame head like that. The extent and quality of your repairs is truly impressive. Can’t get over the intricate repairs to that front beam when most of us would have binned and bought new. So the plan is to use your newly rebuilt chassis with the ragtop body from the other car?
