Wheel Well Repair - Part 1

As you can see, the driver side wheel well is a bit of a mess. It looks like the car was driven off-road at some point in it's life. the missing metal is not due to rust but bottoming out on something. There are a few cracks as well as the missing metal, but they are not too bad and I was able to just weld them up.

The new bumper bracket, purchased from Wolfsburg West, has been welded in and fits quite well for an aftermarket part. While it is not truly correct for the car, it will hold the bumper and it's actually stronger than the original, so what the heck.
