Positioning the replacement part

2. Check that the panels are correctly superimposed in the join area.
3. Mark the part to be removed on the bodyshell.
4. Trace the points to be drilled along the contact area with the side members underneath and the wheel
arches in order to be able to carry out the MIG welding for filling.
5. Remove the replacement part, remove the excess from the bodyshell and drill the spare part. Also drill
the sides of the replacement part which will be subsequently welded to the wheel arches.
Welding the spare part

2. Fix the replacement part to the bodyshell tacking it to the parts to be welded, edge to edge.
3. Weld and fill the holes made previously in the replacement part.
