Scary... Only to give na ideia...

All this zone need to be replaced: Need to strait this support:

A couple of hours to made this patches: And this edge...

The view from inside... The rear left corner... The panel is longer, to support one of the black out lights... The right one... Need to make a new one...

Can you spot something strange on this? No? NO FOAM HERE!!!

And after the pause, I open one of the last Pandora boxes of this car...

After I grid all the welding in excess... The final job is to have only one pice of metal again... not several under each other getting rust... And griding on the other side also (in the photo there was some wotk to do at the time)...

Just some weld spots to adust the patch on his place and to help to make the new shape with the hammer and dolly... And after that just close all the welding... And if needing, in the other side also...

So I decided to make the new patch: A template in papper... To cut the metal with the right shape.

Looks like an reinforcment And for a change... also need some new metal...

On the other side, the reason of the rust... Nobody now the use of this? After I measure the right position. I remove him with the rest of the old patch... The metal was like an oil can... A "light" version:

At the side, more of the same...

And when I was making a pause, I look to this great job on the front right fender... So I resolve to start working... Just amazing... The hammer on him to make space to the new metal...

And with the top on the place... And the box in one piece again...

Another afternoon of work... The inside of the box cleaned and with zin paint on her... And the rest of the box with the patch done done and the rust clean... With the holes for the welding in the body allready done.

With the front done, I go to the rear again. Need to remove two pieces of metal from this place. One is from the reinforcment box that come from the rear and the other was from the biggest panel... Need to remove the side of the seat rail... Trying to adjust the metal with the right...

Time to make this patch again... I was allready done this zone in the begining of the restoration, but need to cut it out... I dont now at the time that the inside of the panel was so bad... Like from fabric... one above other...

But nothing that take my sleep... Finally a new side on the car...
