Technical Significant Corrosion

[rhysmate]

I've been trying to find a Panda for 6 years now and finally found one. They are super hard to find in Ireland. It was abandoned and was about to go to scrap, and i'm starting to think id have been better off letting it to the crusher.

It came with 2 repair sections for the driver side, so i hit that first and overall it's manageable.

Ill post more in the next post

Very rough offer up of replacements to make sure i dont cut too far

Overall this area will be fine, some inner arch welding to do but nothing i can't handle. Next post is where things have taken a turn

Does anyone know if inner sections are available to rebuild the inner sill on the rear sides? Some hero decided to use riveted plate and filler to "fix" the inner sill and its a mess in there. Welding is no problem but making these more complex areas is really awkward. I see there are part numbers on EPER but i can't find a supplier. I see the outer panels are easy to get but inner metal seems hard to find or non existent? Not sure how i feel about tackling this yet. Finding another shell doesn't really seem to be possible here. I can fix i think, but should I.... Repair sections would be super handy.

looks like you've got a bit of work ahead of you. i dont know where you wud get inner sills from. i have some parts here in co.Down but sills on my parts car are probably worse than yours

Thanks for the reply, hopefully a half decent shell shows itself but I haven't seen any around. I'll keep working away on it and see how she goes

Has anyone here done or have photos of a repair done to the rear trailing arm mounts?
