RUST worse than I thought in stern Posted by MJB [Email] (#2191) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MJB) on Thu, 25 Jun 2020 06:43:29 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |

Water in trunk, started poking, removing the interior along the hatch and tail light area,
discovered bad rust along that entire plane of the rear of the car down to the bulkhead behind each rear wheel. I found some brand new parts to replace the rot, still could use the LH corner piece, that is the metal behind the tail light and extends down to the bulkhead. Any suggestions as to parts source for this? The rest of the rot can be fabricated in shop easily.
I was told Facebook is a good source, I just despise that platform though.
The rust on the rest of this car is so light that this has surprised everyone, theory is the car was hit from behind at some point just hard enough to crack open the joints in this area opening them to water.
I found two clean front fenders, going to put them in storage as this new discovery is priority.
Thanks again,
MJB
Found the part!
Having the correct part number makes a big difference!
