BMW E36 328 🇩🇪

The OS sill didn’t look too nasty on Jacks E36, It had been tackled before though.. which uncovered some corrosion and an interesting repair on the rear

Old rusty rear jacking point cut out and replaced with a new reproduction one😁 + some repairs in that area

Seat Arosa SDI 🇪🇸 🇩🇪

Sam came to us to get some clearance issues sorted, he wanted to lower his suspension some more to get the desired ride height but the arches put a stop to it

We see a lot of people just cut straight through the rear arches with no second thought for the inner arch, the trouble with doing that is you sabotage the seal between the two layers which encourages corrosion

What we’ve done here is cut the inner arch out first and then the outer, as you can see that leaves a nice lip to seal over and into. This way is more difficult but is necessary for the longevity of the arches

With front arches you can just cut straight through as it’s a single skin, no inner arch to think about 😁 We do dab epoxy primer onto the exposed cut lines to prevent rust forming however

Whilst the car was with us we investigated the NSF wing because of some bubbling which formed into rust holes. No issue😎

Have you ever seen a sill inside a sill? now you have🫣
Here’s the OS full inner sill reconstruction, the inner sill repair panel is folded in a way to lap weld into the floor pan but that’s ugly and not OEM so we decided to flatten the folds and spot weld to the floor pan like it would’ve been done from factory - The right way

Ready for the outer sill to go on😎

The OS front inner wing panel had seen better days and fortunately a repair panel can be bought but it’s not an exact OEM replica, it comes as one piece

We like to replicate OEM where we can so thats what we did😎

for some much needed attention, this particular repair was very involved, to do it properly and get to the route cause it all needed to come out. Nothing we’re scared of😎

Its the OSF inner wing/strut tower/firewall, it had some previous patches but as you can see, it just makes matters worse later on

Volkswagen MK2 Golf GTI 🇩🇪

As mentioned before MOST of the panels for this chassis can be purchased but unfortunately that doesn’t include 3 door rear quarter panels.. as you can see the original one had been hit on the B pillar.

We decided the best end result would be to replace the whole thing with a cut from another car but this came with its issues. The donor quarter needed a rear outer arch (the original inner rear arch needed to be replaced anyway) and unbeknown to us it had been hit on the back side which was hidden by filler 🫩 Oh well!

New used restored quarter on and ready for a full respray later on😁

Volkswagen MK2 Golf GTI 🇩🇪

A fair amount of extra work found on this vehicle, the front chassis plate and inner sill closing panel had some previous patches that were covering some rust so they had to go. Whilst in the process of that we found that the floor needed to be repaired

As well as that most of the inner sill needed attention followed by a full outer sill 😎

Nice and OEM now🙏🏻

A rather notorious spot for a MK2 Golf to rust - Out with the old and in with the new📈

Being such a popular vehicle a lot of parts and panels are readily available to buy but not all.. as you’ll see soon🫣

This MK2 has had a multitude of work carried out but first we’ll start off with the rear valance, it had some pretty questionable repairs in the past and was scabby in some areas so it was easier and better to swap the whole panel

Upon removing the original panel we were met with a lot of rust spots that needed repairing before welding on the new panel

New panel on and back to being solid😎
