Title: Type 3 repair panels
Post by: dubbershawn on August 09, 2010, 04:01:45 PM

So I was given a squareback and am trying to decide if I should just part it out or if I should go ahead and repair the rust and make it a project over the next few years.  I have some new panels that come with the car but am still going to need to find some.  Does anybody know if there is a repair panel for the inner front fender?  The top of the fenders near the doors/windshield rusted out and then the inner panel behind rusted.  That and the rear apron are what are worrying me.  If I can find those maybe the car can be saved.

There's not a lot of metal for us T3ers. Can we see a pic of the car? What year is it?

Don't have any pics yet, I'm going to pick it up on the weekend - I think.  But just imagine a rusty orange '70 squareback.  I really don't think it is worth saving but I kind of want to anyway.

I'll post some pics when I can though.
