Title: Bug body mounts spot welds.... Post by: maccattack on June 12, 2011, 19:27:57 pm Hi All,
Im working on the rear body mounts on my 67 bug, they have slight corrosion under the double skin and would like to drill the spot welds out, repair both panels and re-weld the mount back on. Thing is i can only seem to find 5 or so spot welds holding on the body mount on. Anybody have a picture of where they should be to help me find them. Many thanks in advance.

I'm just trying to get the Karmann-only parts off the rusty mess that is the shell and let them into a much better sedan body! Might have to look into how much it is to fly Randy over to the UK... :D
