Front wheel housing Patch up or Repair panel?

[Htotheunit]

Hello,

I'm still gathering parts for my resto and have been looking for a while for repair panels for the front wheel housing. See the mess that mine are in below for reference:









Do you think I should

a) patch these up again or

b) buy these panels that I found in stock at a German place and if so, has anyone got any experience fiddling these panels to fit, what is needed etc?

Do it once, do it right. Don’t patch it

Agree with Karlos I have been repaired mine in the past, seat belt mounts & various holes with small rusty 10p size holes turning into a 2 or 3 inch square repair panels welding these in two find more of the remaining metal rather thin & blowing through , I think there is going to be a lot of work for you to do might be worth getting a flap disc out first remove all the surface rust to see what you really have got remaining mind those wheel arches & lower door step as well.

Either way its going to take a lot of time & effort good luck.

Put a full panel back in

Don’t waste your time patching will cost more !!

Had mine cut out put in rail back on all in adays work but we’ll worth it

Probably end up spending more time finding somewhere selling the panel than fitting it!
