All,
I'll shortly be needing to replace the rear section of a S3 SWB chassis. I knew I was up for a rear cross member replacement but now the car is on the hoist I can see that the rust has advanced further along the chassis than the rear spring hangers, particularly on the passenger side. Rather than mess around with a lot of metal replacement in a structural component, I'm thinking that the best approach may be to use one of the Paddock replacement parts, either the 1/4 or 1/2 chassis, depending on how far forward the rust has progressed.

Has anyone here used the Paddock parts, if so how did it go, or is there an Australian based equivalent source? All advice welcomed.
