About to re skin a Viking panel van tailgate. Bottom 2ins (51mm) rotted out so lots of weld but there are two sections that double skin - tailgate lock and the catch at the base. Catch at base has a separate section which I think has a right angle to the section from the tailgate lock. Question is which panels attach to the skin or the frame or just each other. Will post pic when I remember to take me phone
I think you may be blazing a new trail, in the past the answer would have been to replace the tailgate. You can still get a new one, £400 from Heritage, not cheap but... It should be obvious when you start to remove the rusty bits but I would guess panel adhesive between skin and layer below.
