drill out the spot welds on the rear luggage area, replace it with a new one from SSP(£150).

The rear window - I presume you mean the bottom corners?

oh yeah also any info on the rear window area would be cool to 

If you look in the back of Hot VWs, I'm sure there's still somebody who offers a split-window conversion in 'glass. Will save a lot of time and effort.

Bulkhead is the place to put the spare wheels? (I can't find the translation in my dictionary  )

If yes, this some pics of what we have done on my 68

I think this is what he means by bulkhead:



As for the parcel shelf, included with this months Volks World was a Heritage
brochure with repair panels for the edges if that helps?

Cris at small car connection in hesperia ca, is one of the bigger importers for vw parts from mexico. He sales a rear luggage tray panel for about 150.00 These panel are from late model air cooled vws, so basiclly they are 68 bug panels. I dont know if they make a bulk head panel but worth a call. Let me know if you cant locate there number and when I get back from nevada next week I will email you his number.
