Hey as we all know rolla's are crap for boot rust. Anyways mines rusted out and I would like a cut of the rear section.
I thought rather than screwing around trying to press up a new panel and welding it in it would just be easier to weld in a whole new section if I could find one not rusted.
Here's the bit I'm talking about.

Yeah damn I was hoping someone has a parts car lying around or a pranged on the front but good back.
Might just have to go visiting wreckers with a generator and grinder with cut off wheel and see if I can find some non rusty ones.

yes really. old man got a heap for his current resto project.

how bad is the rust? you can usually just bend up some scrap panel steel and weld in for smaller less obvious areas

Its totally stuffed its the whole way through. I have plenty of steel sheets at work and I can press up a panel at work it would just be a lot less work to have a panel to chop and fit in.
