Tailgate Repairs

Post by Hairyface »

Hi folks, not been on for a while and was hoping you could help so that I can feel the love for the van again.

Tailgate has the usual rests mess at the bottom lip and was looking to see if there was anyone out there who stocked repair panels (similar to sliding door repair kits). New tailgates seem privy so was hoping for some inspiration/ wisdom.

I have a late w/wipe tailgate that weirdly has a really good outer skin, but the inner bottom corners have gone a bit crusty, but barely pinholed.
I have only just binned the pics...
Not after a kings ransom, but its far too good to sling and I need to get the "new" one fitted.
