Outer 'A' pillar

Post by DubLuv »

Hi,

Just wondering how easy/hard it is to change the outer A pillar? I have a massive hole in mine, and someone said to plate it? but I'm not sure as the hole is big and after further investigation the rust is worse than initially thought.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

A photo of the affected area would help us to decide on the best course of action......

Be brave n its easy...
Just use the thinnest cutting discs you can, u will also need to chop the front top panel off as if it is that bad it will have gone too!

Looking at it the rust goes right through to the inside and is also on the dash near the screen

He He SNAP!!! Hence why I chopped that all off!!

U dont have to do all that u can patch it depends on the finish u want on the van in the end, if y ajus wana roller it n use it patching fine if ya want it as good as mine ended up the do it the same way. Better jobs cost more n take longer thats all! Nowt wrong with patching if ya jus wana enjoy the van this summer! :ok
