Thanks for sharing. My Vanagon has rusted in the same spots. Watching with interest.

Great, hope it helps, only thing I didn’t include yet is sealing off behind to prevent corrosion, I will be doing this soon , thanks Phil

Cracking work mate 👏👏🤙, do you find it best to spot weld then fill rather than solid line of spot welds ?, what/how do the bluse panel pins work ? Cheers 👍

Hi , I find it best to spot weld on thin panels ( approximately 1 Mm to 1.5 ) otherwise the heat would warp the panel, then seal off with a thin coat of fibreglass resin, then filler. The pins are skin pins which when tightened expand at the base ( using a 3 to 4mm hole. Simply unscrew, remove & spot weld the hole & re use . Thanks for your support, Phil.
