Rear body mounting panel replacement - drivers side

Both rear support panel had to be modified. The bracket that attaches the body to the chasis was in the wrong place, so it was moved up an inch or so.







Annoyingly, but typical of beetles the corners of the boot floor had rotted away. It is possible to get a boot floor section and a rear cross member which would make up most of this but there would still be gaps to fill in. I can't remember which but one of these was also out of stock. So we made these sections from scratch.



The passenger side had a similar problem.
