Is that a tin top floor? It has extra impressions compared to my photos? (In between the outward fan)

What do you think of it's condition?

Btw what do you have a doner car for? What you doing?

Tbh if I can't source a panel I'll make one from nothing and drop in a square box for a boot floor and put battery / washer bottle etc in there and cover over.

 Onto the rest of the shell now.
