steel gauge


Recommended Posts

I'm about ready to get the car into my garage for the first time (it's currently in storage a while away) and was wondering what gauge steel was used in the original build.  As my van is off the road i need a friend to pick up the sheet steel for me.

My first job is to close the hole in the roof.  Second is to cut out and patch the front wings. Third replace both floor pans and (hopefully) finally repair all needed areas in the boot.

Use 18SWG or 1.2mm its strong and easier to weld without blowing holes in it, its what we use all the time for panel repairs.
