We now have a source for creating sheet metal repair sections for almost any area! Amazing! After all of these years of dealing with used panels & fabricating metal for our T34s!
What are your most-needed metal sections? I will compile the requests in this initial email:
- spare tire carrier
- spare tire carrier frame (front width)
- headlight area
- lower wheel well corners (4)
- inner wheel arches (front & rear)
- inner sill strengthening panels
- inner sill (with bolt holes for floorpan)
- rear bumper mounting area
- left front fender antenna hole area

Rockers, rear torsion access, bumper bracket mounts. (I know all of these are available overseas.)

Definately the headlight surrounding areas and also the inner rear wheel arches, inner sill strenghening panels and inner sill (with the bolt holes for the floor to attach).

Hi Lee, i concur with the places mentioned:
spare wheel well carrier and well itself
inner wheel arches (although as you already know i'm busy fabricating my own
the rear bumper mounting area is also a real rust trap

I guess what I meant to say is that if there was another source for the items I listed hopefully it would be a little less expensive and cheaper shipping (to the US) than the current source.

As stated before, over here in Germany we have a "sheet metal man" willing to produce anything that is needed. So we should look for parts/sections that are "unavailable". So this is the reason for the list that Lee keeps updated in his initial post.
Regards
Jörg

Sills. Definitely sills.  Patch piece to left front fender, around radio antenna hole. It somehow grows by itself ... |

I had to fab up 2 sections that were/are unsual. They were the front trunk "firewall" corners, and the rear floor in front of the rear trunk wall (between the wall and the engine access opening). Both of these lead into the inside of the car.
