Mk2 golf panel *urgent help please*

[jim]

Hi I know i don't post on here often but i really need some help with my mk golf,

the top mounting of the strut has come away from the inner wheel arch that it is welded to as it some of it has rotted away. I cant find a replacement panel anywhere and i don't want to scrap the car as its generally quiet good

any sugestions?

I think a photo of it might help here as it's hard to say what to do without seeing it. If panels aren't available you could always chop a section out of one down the scrappy.

You can get Hadrian's list of panels for the MKII here:

www.carpanels.co.uk/index_catalogues.htm

They do a full inner wings and parts thereof but no pics unfortunately. Find one in a breakers and cut a lump out?

thanks kiethy but i tried hadrian earlier, they don't do that panel

i also tried TPS who we order things from at VW and they told me its obsolete

[retrowagen1234]

best option is to cut one outa a scrapper..... theres plenty breaking on vw forums and if you ask nice and pop round with a grinder I bet they would let you lop a bit off....

failing that, break it, but another and put all the nice bits on that..... sounds a bit bad if its gone there, golfs arnt exactly known for inner wing/strut top mount rust


EDIT: theres a 200quid mk2 golf 1300 on tidyvag, needs a new engine but otherwise mint mot'd and taxed iirc

no chance of a couple of neat plates being made up then?

made a few phone calls and its going to the body shop that we send our racecars to, he usually does restorations but he says he should be able to sort it out

thanks for you help though
