My first mk3 a welded new sills and rear footwear in it. Not because I put the jack through it though haha

If your welding, may as well strip the car down a bit and get everything done in one hit

Yeah well that was the idea to place it on there mate, but i had a long day and lost a bit of concentration,

Collect moisture and dust so the car rust If you have rust there, patch it over and forget about the rubber bung. I think its used for transportation during assembly 

EVERY Mk3 rust there (soon or alter) its so common it should be written in the sales brochure.

This is how my looked like:

Yeah theyre all pretty rusted i, had a play before with a few of them and they just fell out! haha,

Fingers crossed the lads in work can source me some steel plates to just put over every hole.

Cant be doing with rust,

I took my arches apart the other day.... well you guessed it.. RUST!

I have just fibreglassed over it for now, obviosly sanded the rust away with a drill and rust wheel but it just disheartens me!
