Putting in a new bottom


The spare wheel well was gone way beyond saving, and the whole nose on the car was smashed in about 10 cm into the well. The best thing would be to get a new Wolf part, but for now a new bottom will do. Having Brezelfürsten around the workshop, means that no shortcuts are made. After I finnished cutting the new piece, the "profile-police" arrived =) I had no other option than to copy the OG profile. With a hammer and simple tools, and about an hour later, the profile was ready. Not perfect, but much better than expected, given my sheetmetal skills. It's temping to chose the off-the-shelf way, but it's more curing of the soul to make it yourself.

Now it's just the welding left...
