Parcel Shelf Repair

Next up was the parcel shelf. The friend who im building this for wanted to go for a much more stealthy/stock look for his stereo install. So the two 6x9 holes cut in the parcel shelf had to go.

Wondering how i was going to replicate this panel, the shell of another Karmann Ghia came up for sale locally to me. Seeing as we needed a few other cuts that you either cant buy or are hideously expensive, we bought it. Lots of carefull measuring later, i cut the panel out of the donor car and done the same to the project car.

Some welding later and the donor panel was in.

A little bit of cleaning with a grinder and a dash of primer later and its looking like it did when it first came out of the factory. Much better!
