How to repair hole in rear left side passenger well.
1988 3.2 Coupe. I ripped out the rear interior to do a RS carpet and I found that the rear passenger seat pad and interior was wet mush. I am assuming that it has been this way for ages (I am the second owner) and just ate up the galvanizing and rusted through. Testing with a screw driver shows everything else is solid. Any ideas on how to fix this? Should I get a piece out of a wrecked Carrera? Who has stuff like that? Fab something out of pieces? JB weld!? thanks

Cut back to clean / undamaged metal when doing the repair.

Ahhhh, the old leaking rear window gasket cancer. I would just cut and hammer a replacement piece to fit, if that's the only spot. If it's more extensive, then buy the replacement panel. The package shelf probably looks like Swiss cheese too.

That's curiously not at the lowest spot, do you park on a slope ?

repair hole
You will need a welder anyway,
1. Cut a nice L shape piece of metal and form it to match the curvature on the area. 2. Place it in top of the damages area and cut the damaged area with a Dremel or small gigsaw. 3. Use a magnet or Clecos to hold the metal and weld around. 4. Grind excess metal and make it pretty! Good luck, Jose |
