hi i was having a good look around my 1991 mk2 nova hatchback on a ramp the other day too see wether there is much welding work needed before i start my project, fortuanately there isnt too much just the usual round the rear arches however there were a couple of areas i am unsure of the first which is the most concerning is around the n/s/f suspension strut/turret, now its not the turret itself thats solid but where it joins the inner wing at the bottom its heavily corroded, would i be best taking off the wing and welding a plate from underneath the strut/turret?
the other thing which is slightly less concerning but still needs sorting is behind the rear bumper i noticed from in the boot that there was a slight hole along the seam where the boot floor is welded to the rear panel so i removed the bumper and found that the rear panel has gone in a few places, does anyone know of any where that sell rear panels or repair panels or am i best just making plates up? id rather do the job right if poss.
i have a few pics to upload will try to in next couple of days to help you see what i mean.
