Heard from an ex mechanic mate that there are Mk1 repair panels for the base of the A-pillar (sunroof drain issue has caused it to rust through). After a lot of searching I can't find even an acknowledgment of such a panel existing.
Anyone able to help?

Can't say I've ever seen one of those. Sorry.
Re: Repair Panels
No never seen them, what I have seen is very good tin bashing making panels by hand and in small sections, or cut out a good a pulled base from a scrapped car, but obviously only if it's a solid one.

Re: Repair Panels
we make the full outer sills long enough to cover the base of the A post so that its one continuous panel, maybe this is what he was referring to ?

Re: Repair Panels
While we are on the subject of repair panels is there anything available to repair the rear quarter from the arch to the boot corner as mine is Looking very sorry for itself
Re: Repair Panels
There is a bottom bit that goes basically where the mudflaps go , round to the rear balance, but if your talking higher up, I think you might need to get fabbing.

Re: Repair Panels
Mine is a mess mate lol
Disassembled the entire front to get to a bumper bar bolt yesterday. Then had to cut it off as the captive nut had come off of the bracket. Complete mess on my driveway last night.
