|
|
Does anyone know if this area (rear outer wheel well) is repoped? KGPR shows the top half of this section, but doesn't seem to go all the way down to the bottom of the fender. I need to replace this rusted out section for my '58 lowlight Ghia. It's the passenger side. If not, does any one have a dry, used section for sale? Thanks for any and all help.

You could just make it out of sheet metal...very easy. |

The little inner piece that attaches to the crossmember and has the torsion bar hole is definately reproduced for later model Ghias, for lowlights you might be able to get one imported, or modify a later one to fit. |

This is the rear where the bumper mounts. I guess have to stick with plan A. Make it from scratch... _________________ Quintin - IG @GFK602 |

Thanks, I was hoping for someone in the states to make this piece. It will just have to be fabricated. _________________ Quintin - IG @GFK602 |

It will not work on a 58!!
The inner rear fenders for 56-66 is different than 67-74
