Hello All, My 86 Westphalia Wolfsburg is finally more or less mechanically sound and so I have started to work on the body. Fixed all the various dings and scrapes. The Passenger side rear wheel arch has been crushed and repaired at least twice so needs to be replaced. Only the arch is crunched, side panel is OK. Questions for the list: 1. There seem to be at least two types of wheel arch replacement sheetmetal. One is only the arch and a bit of the back panel and the other bigger piece goes about 6 inches above the arch. Any suggestions on what to use? 2. Has anybody used bonding adhesive - e.g 3M Automix Panel Bonding - to attach a replacement wheel arch and if so any comments on how well that worked? My welding skills are rusty so was hoping to get by with the 3M adhesive.... Thanks for any advice, Millo 86 Westy Wolfsburg 67 Porsche 912 89 Chevy 1500 Millo Fenzi fenzi@comcast.net 408-316-7806 [cell]
