VW Kurierwagen (VW 181)

[HUGO bOSS]

Out...





No more rust bellow for sure...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

They are missing some parts here...



But at least they are the original ... there was only a small patch overlapping zone where is the support of the bumpers.


This is how it looks:





This zone is the bellow one... and the rust is strong there...









I do not want to risk one day lead a backrest and the area warped the plate was weak ... I will have to replace it too ...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Started to put some new metal on this corner...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

1 centimetre out of place...





Some marks to make sure...





this is the left side... in the correct position...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Some weld spots to help the corner to go to the right position.







With a litle help, I made it...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

The rear corner patch...





With this one at place it helps...





One spot here, one spot there, just to get the metal with the right form because of the heat...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

The new patches for the corners...





Miss are two new holes and the new nuts weld there...





Inside look...





A couple of hours and will be ready... next day...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Some weld done...



This zone was giving to me some ideas...
Out with her...


Or at least part of her...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

And for the rust getting out... I should be right...





Hum...





And for a change, under the rusty metal I have another rusty metal...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

New metal for her...





All is not lost... at least this rusty zone is nice to get a template... At the other side of the car I havent so much luke.





Next day...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Another day of work...


Rear right side...





Double patche.

 

[HUGO bOSS]

New metal for her...





All is not lost... at least this rusty zone is nice to get a template... At the other side of the car I havent so much luke.





Next day...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Another at the side...





Cleaned the inside.

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Keep removing the rest of the side old panel...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Paint was drying... I move to the rear were the bumper suport zone... It was bad... With many rust...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

And there they are... the two best friends of this car:


The rust and the foam...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

And after a cleaning, I realise that it wasn't need to replace all the part... just a small one... Strange...



Cosed at the other side with new metal.

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Just need to grid this zone and make some new weld spots if needed...





To place the final patch, I need to place first the interior side panel... Next day...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Last saturday work...





Zinc paint on a place that will be closed for good...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Rear right corner...





All day on this...



But was a nice work...
