Hi everyone. Thanks for having me on the forum.

I'm a new owner of a 1974 914-S. I purchased the car last night, knowing that it needs some rust repair.

Has anyone tackled the job of the rear inner wheelhouse panels? So just inside the rear wheel arch, where the body starts to curve upwards, the actual corner/curve piece has some rot.

Do these panels (both left and right) exist for sale? Am I better off fabricating the pieces?

Also, is the floor patching better to do from the top or from underneath?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
