Gti A 1.1

[Daniel306 12 1 Cars]

Have bought a new shell for my Gti, its a 1.1 but nearly rust free. planning to make templates to cut and drill the arches but im not to sure on the rear inner arch.

 

Guessing this has been done a few times, any got some photos and advice?

Did it to my 1.1 a you have a bit shell also, just make some templates from the gti arches and cut the outers away. With the inners you can then knock back/trim by eye.I sealed between the two with fibreglass filler (only bonded together anyway) as -)a, I don't weld and )b- the paintwork was good.

One thing that was pointed out after I did it was that I was using a disc cutter rather close to the fuel tank, as you will be swapping tanks it may be a good idea to remove this first.

 

Was a thread here on it somewhere and some pics on my photobucket, follow links in sig

Guessing it needs cut right down to the sill

I did, it's a common place to rub.
