VW Kurierwagen (VW 181)

[HUGO bOSS]

With the front done, I go to the rear again.





Need to remove two pieces of metal from this place. One is from the reinforcment box that come from the rear and the other was from the biggest panel...
Need to remove the side of the seat rail...





Trying to adjust the metal with the right size and look...

Another afternoon of work...





The inside of the box cleaned and with zin paint on her...


And the rest of the box with the patch done done and the rust clean...





With the holes for the welding in the body allready done.

[HUGO bOSS]

And with the top on the place...





And the box in one piece again...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

And when I was making a pause, I look to this great job on the front right fender...





So I resolve to start working...





Just amazing... The hammer on him to make space to the new metal...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

At the side, more of the same...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

On the other side, the reason of the rust...





Nobody now the use of this?


After I measure the right position. I remove him with the rest of the old patch... The metal was like an oil can...





A "light" version:

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Looks like an reinforcment







And for a change... also need some new metal...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

So I decided to make the new patch:





A template in papper...


To cut the metal with the right shape.

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Just some weld spots to adust the patch on his place and to help to make the new shape with the hammer and dolly...








And after that just close all the welding...





And if needing, in the other side also...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

After I grid all the welding in excess...





The final job is to have only one pice of metal again... not several under each other getting rust...


And griding on the other side also (in the photo there was some wotk to do at the time)...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

And after the pause, I open one of the last Pandora boxes of this car...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Can you spot something strange on this?





No?











NO FOAM HERE!!!

 

[HUGO bOSS]

The view from inside... The rear left corner...





The panel is longer, to support one of the black out lights...


The right one...





Need to make a new one...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

A couple of hours to made this patches:





And this edge...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

All this zone need to be replaced:





Need to strait this support:

 

[HUGO bOSS]

Scary...





Only to give na ideia...

 

[HUGO bOSS]

And the inside panel, with the suport for the arm of the hood...

One of the parts that was missing in the car:





Still need many work, but have another work to do first in other places... Need to wait.
