Well I've started the process of preparing for
my 2056 GT to 2.4L six "rallye tribute" auto.
Tearing into the interior I discovered some rust mites have been eating for a while.
Doesn't look too extensive but will be probing some more. The exterior left long was
patched a long time ago, albeit incorrectly. This was done by shop
that wasn't fully up to speed on these cars and I was still a novice, well
still am. I'll be doing some exploratory surgery on this left side inside and out. So I'll get this addressed before any engine install takes place. Would like to
have it buttoned up for Hershey 2017. Wish me luck.

It's a VW. The proper method is to steal some street signs and fiberglass them in. Construction adhesive would also work.


What, no pop rivets? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Leave it to an engineer to overcomplicate this repair!
