Hi there, have just relised after stripping my mk2 that the original inner front panel is missing and a replacement front panel had been welded to the lower x-member. can anyone shed some light on how it was wen it rolled out the factory- i assume the front panel was spot welded along the bottom to the inner panel? should i go down this route or weld straight to the x member after putting a repair section on the bottom?

any help would be great
