Patch Rust or Damage Behind the Front Wheel
This Left Side Front Wheelhouse Lower Rear Section is a precision-stamped sheet metal patch panel for 1958–1977 Air-Cooled VW Beetles.

Perfect for addressing rust-through or accident damage in this commonly weakened area, this 19" x 8" section restores the original wheelhouse curve and flange profile with clean, weldable edges.
