It’s been quite a while since the last update on this project. In the following pictures more work has been done to the inner rear wheelhouses. The excess metal has been trimmed up and both halves are now tack welded. Also the upper trunk floor has been final welded to the body. The holes that were in the trunk floor from the drilled out spot welds were used for plug welds.


Here’s some more work inside the trunk on the wheelhouses. The pieces are all trimmed and tack welded together.


The right rear wheelhouse tack welded together.


The upper trunk floor all welded up to the body. If you look closely you will notice the plug welds using the holes left from drilling out the factory spot welds.


The right side quarter panel is fit up and tack welded. The gaps are a little wide in some areas, but not bad for piecing two cars together.
