Be warned..the above was a boosted mk4 cab,this little bit of a problem turned into basically the whole osf corner not being attached to rest of car,,good job it was only bought as a breaker, an bashed till the rent went
Cabs really do need knowledge/experience to weld up right as its strength is critical, if its a bit of a roughen then DIG VERY VERY DEEP into its structure before getting the doe out fella..
Best of luck op and get pics up, oh and have some insperation too

imop when they are in that condition its going to be best to gut it ALL out first, see whats hiding then go from there.
Well done for saving her fella, now get it restored/turbo'd
