alrite guys, little update for the past couple of days. started off by removing the rear vallence, we had thought of saving this but with the rust that was under the paint we decided it would be a much better job if we just replaced it drilled out all the spotwelds.

removed the vallence.

 we got new vallence closing panels but didnt get the ones that go back to the vallence. so one of them neededa slight repair, the other just needed rust treating.

 this is what we use to convert the rust.

 after this there was a small repair needed to the drivers side wheel arch and boot floor

 once the repairs were made, the rear valence was trial fitted to get the position for the closing panels.

 with all the welding finished in the rear end, it wa time to stonechip the underneath.
