January 21, 200719 yr Has anyone done this to their EA81s or have pictures of it? I'm mostly interested in pics and what people did to fill in the holes in the doors?
January 21, 200719 yr do it right or it'll fall out. Weld the hole , grind it down and use some bondo...
January 21, 200719 yr If you can get to the back side of the metal, you can tack weld some sheet metal pieces to cover the hole, then bondo on the outside. Or I guess you can use JB Weld to keep the sheet metal in place too. Just 1 or 2 inch squares of metal.
January 21, 200719 yr Weld, then knock down slightly with a hammer so there's a shallow dimple. You don't want bondo exposed on the inside, and you don't want the bondo very thick - as thin as possible. Thus the welded hole, and a shallow dimple to fill. GD
January 21, 200719 yr if you cant weld it, you could always creat a dent and then use a patch kit over the dent and then bondo over that. that way the bondo is not exposed on the other side.
January 21, 200719 yr Hehe, the ol Bondo the hole thing. The bondo can usually comes with screens to use as a backing behind the hole, that's what I did. But only on one door I replaced on the wagon. High build primer and a sanding block will make it smooth as a Standard door. BTW, is there such thing as a Standard Wagon?
January 22, 200719 yr Author I was planning on welding the holes. Has anyone done this to their cars and have pics? To answer your wagon question, there were never standard wagons ever produced by the factory.
January 23, 200719 yr I have a set of gen 1 fenders that I shaved the trim on and was planning on doing it to my old '78 Brat. Never got around to finishing it though. The fenders look awesome, even though I also shaved the side marker lights that were in them:grin:
