Hi guys wondering if anyone does a replacement panel for a rear end or does anyone have a donor panel they'd be willing to part with?
Thanks

Dougie, are you talking about the panel below the boot lid on a sedan?
Not real clear what you want.

Yes Ken, the panel below the boot that goes between the rear tail lights and incorporates the fuel filler.
Thanks

No repro available for this panel that I know of so it will be a good second hand one you need. These have rust very commonly under the rubber seal so you will need to check carefully before cutting one out.

Thanks for your help Ken. I've got a donor car i could use but was hoping to make a couch out of the rear end, oh well i've got to many projects on the go anyway :-)

Bugger i was only down that way on the weekend for the drags and cooly rocks.
Rust in the donor car is minimal but the panel isn't perfectly straight as we had a rollover in it.
I'll be back down your way in around 4 weeks. If your going to cut your rear end anyway it might be worth me coming for a look?
