back panel and underside renovation
as you can see have now cut off my old back panel. as this panel was spot welded on orriganally (most off it) i wire brushed the weld area down so you could see where it has been welded and drilled these out so i can puddle weld new back panel onn easier and used the grinde up the sides and will trim back as i see fit (add bits iff neccersery) when i weld new back on. but 1st i want to weld on new chassis parts as its easier to gain access whild the rear panel is removed, but these parts taking longer to be delivered than i expected so untill i got these bits progress is halted want to wait till i got these bits done till i do rest off the body work then i got a huge amount off filler to use and hours off sanding (oh joy!!) but as i get bits done will keep you all posted

no have done all the chassis at the rear and hopefully all the welding on the drivers side. she's had new sill new reaer arch new front wing new chassis ( rear axle mount and round inner arch) nearly new inner arch on reaer patches in front inner wing new filler surround both front and rear doors need a good rub down as they starting to rot at the bottoms now passenger side needs the same then gunna park it over the pit to rub the whole rear under side down to metal to redoxide the underseal. got the rear axle to rub down and repaint. the reaer drums need an overhaul as do the front brakes. on removal off the fuel tank the brake lines fell apart in my hands so new fuel and brake lines needed

I need to replace my back panel as well and i'm waiting on crazyquiff getting a few in. I was cutting out holes and stuff today with the grinder(as you do), and i was thinking about taking my back panel off. Trouble is that i didn't really know where to cut.
SO, where do i cut along the back panel for my new one to go on?
I don't want to cut too much in case i leave huge gaps.
Thanks
Baz
P.S. my rear panel is complete scrap. should i just cut it out in bits?

you can see the lip on them pics should make a start on putting it on today as this is my new rear panel
as you can see covered in surface rust so prob spend a full day cleaning and prepping it and the car but this is just about the last welding the car will need
