I'm working on a 2.0 that has a couple cruddy tins - the rear engine cover plate (at trans) has a tear and my right side tin has been butchered for AC. I have a parts car 1.7 and my current in-car 1.8 (with refinished tins). I've read that I can cut the spot welds at the front portion of the right side tin and graft in one from a 1.7 or 1.8. Is this correct? Is the rear engine cover plate uniform across engines?
Thanks. |

@SuperHawk996 That is fantastic. My car had a/c but they cut the shelf rather than the tin. I made a temporary patch out (with channel) until I'm in a position to replace the shelf. I'm very familiar with that edge of the engine tin! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) They did the same thing to my car. Both self and tin were cut. Idiots! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) In my case the whole right side long inclusive of the element up into the engine bay were replaced due to rust. I'm replacing the whole shelf with the RD sheetmetal as part of that project to repair the Shark Bite chunk the idiots at the dealership sawed out! |

I will also replace the cut shelf with the RD piece. Meantime the patch (2x8”) came out well and will keep dirt out of the engine bay. |
