Upper hinge gussets cut away
The boot floor has needed quite extensive repairs, and the rear panel itself needed replacement, though the slam panel of the original is retained. Also replaced was the rear crossmember below it. The petrol tank is supported on this so there's a jig in place to ensure the studs are aligned properly. Similar repairs were needed on the o/s arch tub to those on the n/s and the spring hanger was also replaced.

Boot floor and wheel arch tub repairs completed, plus replacement spare wheel well
The o/s rear spring hanger and wheel arch showing horrible previous repairs, plus my jig (painted gold) for getting the spring hanger back in the correct place
The boot floor and o/s wheel arch tub are a mess of previous repairs
The n/s rear spring front hanger is the only one of the four that's salvageable
More horrible previous repairs in the o/s rear wheel arch, shock absorber mount and spring hanger area, all of which needs cutting out and repairing correctly.
