Water, mud and salt collect behind the headlight bucket, and the metal around the light rots out from the back. The usual signs are bubbles around the headlight rim, a loose headlight that will not stay aimed, and holes visible when the light is removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGhia front fenders are welded to the body, so you cannot unbolt and replace them like on a Beetle. A pre-formed headlight section lets a body shop cut out only the rotten area and weld in fresh metal with the correct curve, saving a lot of hand-forming and lead work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ghia nose is one of the most visible parts of the car, so careful fitting before welding pays off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a weld-in steel panel.
