|
|
1.
|
The side panel and rear section of the door frame should be removed.
|
|
2.
|
Mount the car on an aligning bench.
|
|
3.
|
Cut the inner side panel as shown, being careful not to damage the C pillar reinforcement.
|
|
4.
|
Drill out the spot welds securing the inner side panel. Grind down the seam welds in the wheel housing.
|
|
5.
|
Knock loose the inner side panel and realign any deformed metalwork.
|
|
6.
|
Cut the spare part roughly to size so that it will overlap the joint by about three centimetres.
|
|
7.
|
Position the spare part and fix it with a few welding clamps. Adjust it precisely and check the alignment by means of the aligning bench's coordinate measuring system.
|
|
8.
|
Cut through the spare part and body simultaneously so that the joints can be welded edge-to-edge.
|
|
9.
|
Use a grinder to clean the areas on the spare part and body that are to be welded.
|
|
10.
|
Apply welding primer to the surfaces which are to be spot welded. Use Teroson Zinkspray.
|
|
11.
|
Position the spare part and fix it with a few welding clamps.

|
Fit the outer side panel and door frame in place and check their fit.
|
|

14.
|
Weld the inner side panel in place.
|
|
16.
|
Grind the welds clean.
|
|

|
Wash off surplus welding primer. Welding primer makes for poorer adhesion of paint, filler and sealant.
|
|
18.
|
Apply primer to all surfaces that have been ground clean. Use Standox 1K Füllprimer.
|
|

|
Fit the door frame and rear wing.
