Coras B help please

Hi All
The Boss [ Wife ] has a Corsa B and one of the rear springs had broke but while i was replacing [both ] springs i have noticed the chassis is getting a little rough above one of the spring
My question is can I buy a repair panel to weld above the spring ?
Thanks for any info
Jacko

After market Rust repair panels are a thing of the past these days except for Morris Minors, MGBs and the like.
If it so bad it needs welding is a Corsa B worth the investment in money and time ?

Which only underlines my point, rust repair panels are a thing of the past in the old days you could get patch panels for just about any known rust point on any car.

Try a bodyshop affilliated with a Vauxhall dealer, very often we buy a complete chassis leg and only use the last 9 inches, and chuck the remains in the glory bin in case it is needed at a later date.

BT is right about the corrosion repair panels, one of the few available these days is the Ford Ka fuel flap surround





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Yes i think so
The panel is not that bad to need to change the car and i am sure it will be ok for another year or two but if i could have bought a repair panel i would have spent the time and money doing it
+ its cheaper then buying another car
