Inner wings
The inner wings on the mk1 are looking a bit suspect particularly at the headlights so I think it will need the wings off and a bit of welding. Does anyone know a source for inner wings or repair sections? Mk1 golf inners are available but these must be different or are they adaptable, what have you been using?

Re: Inner wings
When you repair the inner wing fit some front wheel arch liners from a mk1 golf, they stop all the mud getting stuck in that corner, its such a good mud and rust trap.
Golf linners need trimming to fit and you need to drill a few holes to fix them in place.
I've got 1 liner form a Mk1 golf cabriolet and 1 from a late mk1 golf tin top which does fit slightly better than the cabriolet liner but they both do a good job of stopping the dirt and mud getting trapped in the corners.

Re: Inner wings
No repair sections are available and aftermarket sources seemed to have dried up a long time ago. Fabrication is the only option unless you get very lucky on ebay and the like.
