Rear end panel repairs

Although it has been a while since I have updated my blog I have been getting on with the usual rusty panels removal.

First up was some further work on the rear end panel where I had stopped from the last time I was working on this section, as you can see below.

I wanted to finish off each corner, which was... yes you have guessed it, make a template and weld it in!

and the other side...

It was clearly much worse. You can see the seam coming apart above where the rear wing joins to the rear panel. So I decided to do this in two parts because it would be too difficult to accurately shape the metal to fit perfectly.

I'll close that gap and the seam next time I work on this area.
