Help???

Hi, I'm new to the VW golf scene and am trying to find where I can get hold of bodypanels for a mk1 cabriolet? I specifically need an off side rear quarter panel and sill, near side outer rear wheel arch repair panel and if one is not avaliable the whole quarter panel so I can use part to repair the rot in the rear arch and also an inner arch. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Andy B  :twisted:

hi mk1 cab quarter panels were avaliable as a top and bottom half, but have not been avaliable for years, best bet is secondhand.
good luck

Ah, bugger.  :banghead:  I needed from above the lower swage line down but if they're not avaliable, and I'm guessing second hand are like hens teeth, I'm going to have to make my own repair sections up.  Are the sills avaliable? I'm only guessing here, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but are the lower half of the rear quarters and the outer sills not the same as a 3 door mk1?  :dontknow:   How is rot in the rear arches normally put right? Is it a case of make your own? Cheers, Andy B  :twisted:
