Kombi T2 Inner Front Valance Panel Repair Replacement Posted: Tue Sep 10, 2013 6:07 pm     Views: 85      Rating: Not rated

Some photos for the thread ''Replacing Inner and Outer Front Valance without messing with the nose''.
I cut the outer like 15mm below the seam level at the front, metal thickness was ok at the point to be kept. I wanted to avoid messing with the nose panel and the seam to minimize the intervention.
Fabricated my own sections of the A pilar, welded those first then the inner Valance replacement Panel I got. Cut in the matching height from the piece removed. Welder the inner from the front, so the weld bead stayed inside.
trimmed the Outer valance piece at the matching height required and welded on.
