Fuel filler panel thingy!

[timzcarman]

I dont know its technical name but I need to stick it back on.

 

My car was attacked by the back of a Patrol ute and it came off second best.

 

I have bashed the panel into some sort of shape, but the filler panel thingy was torn 90% off in the attack!

 

Now without access to a spot welder what would be the best way to attach this part.

 

I was thinking of bonding it firstly with Sikaflex and then drilling some small holes in the outer skin and tacking with a MIG through the holes?

 

My panel beating history is this! So any advice would be appreciated.

You could use some tech screws to hold it in place in the spots where you want to weld it. Then take one screw out at time and fill the hole with the Mig. Once it is all welded get a tube of drip check from a paint supplier and run it around the edge.

make sure whatever you use in there is petrol resistant!!

 

It'll get fuel on it, and if its not, it'll peel up and screw up all your hard work.
