My van needs a bit of tlc and have got s price for a partial respray,
The tailgate has a small amount of rust along the bottom and on one corner, goes through the other side.
He says I need a new tailgate.
Now I know that it can be easily repaired by a good welder, any suggestions?
I'm I'm the Brighton area.
Will see if I can get a photo posted up in the meantime.
Buying a tailgate and swapping bits over would be a major ball ache and costly,
