I assume you are talking about the piece which runs from the bottom of the rear quarter up to the rail in the boot. no one reproduces this piece.

Where are you located Justin. Is it just one side and the whole section. Pics would be good. I'm doing a mild custom that's all and I was thinking of modifying that section to house a battery. Fc hoon heavily modded this part for a compressor from memory. A bit more info would be good

Unless you are a stickler for perfection, you don't need the pressings in the metal. Just cut a cardboard template, transfer to metal and weld in.

I had a look at the panel last night. Bit hard to see but has anyone seen one squared off for storage. I'm just not sure if it would stick out when the car is on the ground. If it's just something you need not in a hurry I'll keep an eye out. There's a place not far from me who are making rust panels no longer available. I'm going to sus them out.
