Had myself a little splurge today. picked up a set of quad lights and weatherstrips

a perfectly straight bootlid


and a rear beaver panel so I can finally start making some progress!

[Jake70]

and so begins the re-wiring the harness.

cleaning up the rear beaver panel for insertion

does the rear beaver panel have the metal that the boot seal attachs to on it??

[Jake70]

yeah I just had the ass end chopped off. I am making sure it's fixed PROPERLY unlike the last people who tried to fix it haha

[Aussie_XLR]

It's the only place mine has rust and it is bad I have actual holes in mine. I'm going to do the same. Thanks for the idea.

[Jake70]

mine had big holes all along the top of the beaver panel. boot seal lip was gone too. best thing to do is get one hacked off another car and separate the panel from the scrap, grind the spotwelds out and roll the excess metal off with a pair of sidecutters.

[Aussie_XLR]

Ahh Np thanks for the heads up. Looks like when my new front beaver pannel arrives I'll go looking for an old rally shell with no rear end damage or rust and try the same thing

[Jake70]

dummy-fitted the beaver panel tonight. tech-screwed in to line it all up. Still have some small rust and damage to repair but all very minimal.
Shits moving along
