Rear panel and rear quarters - sanded down......needs new lower qtr panel, only bad bit of rot on the lower trunk floor panel.


Attachments:
File comment:Rear panel was pretty bad too, apart from the huge inch thick filler where the cut out is, the rest of the panel was mainly filler. New rear panel is being installed!

Looking good there Mark, bet you can't wait to get it finished, Summer's on its way :lol:

Looks like the car might have been manufactured late '67 going by the numbers on the inside of the rear 1/4 panel

cheers....Nige

Hehe, I'm itching to be driving it again, got fed up of seeing other yanks driving about in the Summer! The bodyshop knows Summer is on the way, they have a deadline to keep to :)

Looks that way, most of bits have 67 on them :)
