Trunk repair

[curtisboyte]

I got one spot of rust in my trunk area. I noticed they do sell the replacement part. How hard is this to replace. The car is going to restoration shop today for a floor pan replacement and for the sheetmetal apron under battery box.

My first body guy messed up the install on that piece fairly badly, so it's not easy ... but then again, there's a reason I hired a second body guy.

I think that I've read here that these trunk parts need some massaging to fit, and I believe that my second body guy had to cut it at the drop down to get it to fit. I do not know if they were using this particular piece.

Also, you may want to get a new bracket for the inner rear. They're 13 bucks with NPD (and probably comparable with MU) and, if memory serves, were hard to salvage from the old trunk piece.

I don't see any problem in the trunk maybe others do

Looks rotted through just inboard of the weld with the wheel well.
