I am getting ready to install a used sail panel and lower fender section. It is in great shape except for some internal rust from the foam weather stripping. There are only a few minor holes that extent to the outside of the panel.
  I need suggestions on repairing this before I install it. Should I weld or braze the minor pin holes shut and then use a fiberglass body filler to fill the rest of the imperfections? The panel will then fill in the hole in the side of my 914 GT conversion project.  Jeff B |
