  1. hy all, newish to late bay,always looking for parts ,advice, well i have a 73 bay and i need some welding doing , nothing too drastic,, i hope ,but i am struggling to get someone local to me, been to a couple of places and they dont seem interested tbh, i cant do it myself , recent injuries,prevent that, but willing to take it to a decent knowledgeable vw welder can anyone help please or point me in the direction of someone that can help. thanks gedd oh i am in sunny blackpool
     
  2. Sorry I don't know anywhere near you as I'm a southern poof. My bay has just been welded and I would advice you to look at Autocraft panels. I had to send a load of panels back from some places as they were terrible quality

    A few on here use 81a in Southport but from what can gather you'll be lucky to get it started for some time!
    What exactly does it need?
