I have a couple of questions about the upper wheelhouse repair. I ended up cutting the rear 1/4 for better access. The wheelhouse itself is rusted thru in a couple of places but metal around the suspension and mount seems really solid.. What are my options for repair ?


Was thinking of maybe notching out where the suspension bracket and tack weld over it? Or should I remove the suspension mount completely?

I have this repair panel from AA, I also have the jack point cover as the bottom had some rust.

The round hole looks like someone made it to check the condition of the hell hole?

That's not an overlay part.
You can cut it up and use in sections. But not lay over.
