Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most essential repair panels for restoring a VW T2

When restoring a VW T2 Bay, addressing rust and damage is essential for ensuring the van’s longevity and structural integrity. Several repair panels are critical to bringing your classic VW back to its best condition, including floor pans, wheel arches, and sills.

Floor Pans:

  • Over time, the floor pans in a VW T2 can rust, particularly in areas exposed to water. Replacing them is vital for ensuring a strong base and providing support for the interior. They are one of the most common areas to restore and an essential part of the structural repair process.

Wheel Arches:

  • The wheel arches often face damage due to exposure to road debris and rust over the years. Replacing them is crucial for both appearance and structural integrity. New arches ensure protection against further rusting and improve the overall aesthetic of the vehicle.

Sills:

  • Sills provide essential support to the body of the van and are a common area for rust. Replacing them is crucial for maintaining the rigidity and structure of the vehicle. Rusty sills can weaken the body and compromise safety, so they are a must in any restoration project.

How do I replace rusted sections like wheel arches, sills, and lower body panels on a VW T2?

To replace rusted sections like wheel arches, sills, and lower body panels on a VW T2, follow these essential steps for a successful restoration:

  1. Assess the Damage
  • Inspect the rusted areas carefully to determine the extent of the damage. Use a grinder or wire brush to remove surface rust and expose the full scope of the corrosion. Identify if the entire panel needs replacing or just a section.
  1. Remove the Rusted Panels
  • Use a grinder or cutting tool to carefully cut out the rusted sections. Be sure to cut slightly beyond the rust to ensure you remove all damaged metal. For sills and wheel arches, work slowly to avoid damaging adjacent panels.
  1. Prepare the Surface
  • Once the rusted sections are removed, clean the surrounding area and treat it with a rust converter to prevent further corrosion. Make sure the area is smooth and free of debris for a good weld.
  1. Fit the Replacement Panels
  • Place the new repair panels (wheel arches, sills, or lower body panels) and tack-weld them in place. Align the new panels carefully, ensuring they fit snugly into position.
  1. Welding and Finishing
  • Fully weld the replacement panel into place, ensuring there are no gaps. Once welded, grind the seams smooth and apply rust-proofing primer and sealant to prevent future corrosion.
