so, finally got around to working on the rear fenders. decided that instead of just tacking on just the arches as so many do, i would graft the entire vw rear fender into my rear quarter. this solved the rust hole issues, as the holes all fell within the part that i was cutting out, so no additional patch work was needed...
the rust was all cut out, and i was left with a gaping hole... did i mention that i have never done this before?
everything was secured for a good butt weld.
and then it was all tacked in. still have a lot of additional tacking to do, but it is slow as i can't get too much heat into the metal, as it will warp and distort the fender.
now all i have to do is finish the rears of this fender, as the body shape is a bit different. then on to the other side...
