Beetle Frame Head Replacement....Any Info Please!

hi y'all
after taking off my front beam, usual story, found loads of rot in and around the frame head, several holes all over going back to the bulkhead..
do you have to remove the body to carry out a full frame head replacement ( which we don't really want) or would a good extensive patch up job be safe?

cheers

thanks very much for all your help guys ;)

it's maybe not quite as bad as first thought as you'll probably agree from the photo, never the less we want the job doing properly and have decided to grind out the complete front section which includes the beam mounts and weld back in a brand new panel.

thanks again :hangloose
