Access via panel as you mention. I have had to arrange a low loader to get the car over to him, the low loader is coming from 20 miles away. When he asked me for the address of the welder he said that he had heard of him, he is known for doing high quality work! Seems i may of struck lucky! All arranged for wednesday.I would never quote in advance for that kind of work, you just don't know what's going to be involved until you get stuck in.
If you take the front wings off you will only expose the outer part of the "A" post. You will have to cut a panel out of this in order to gain access to the inner part where the rust penetration is likely.
You have the dash out already so this might not be necessary as your access to the "A" post will be unhindered by it.
Likewise you may have to cut an access panel out at the top of the scuttle at the air intake orifices because otherwise you won't get access.
Hi there - I have a similar issue on a 1986 300SL - would you be willing to share the details of your welder?
This is a five year old thread. The OP's last activity on here was in 2013 so maybe not around any more.
Hi olro.
If your question was directed at Colgate he was last active on here in May 2013 so will be unlikely to see your post.
If you post up where you are based someone may be able to help.

Looks like the forum echo has returned.
