Work has continued, just slaking on posting. The right side patches are all welded in.
Needed to make a patch for the rust at the valance mount. Cut that from the excess wheel arch panel. Next was to deal with the bumper fit. The quarter was installed too low at the rear, and the corner sat right on the bumper, while the body line at the trunk lid was level. The corner was 3/8" too low, so I cut the back corner of the quarter off. I needed to move it up on the outside and keep the body lines as aligned as possible. That necessitated cutting the corner into 3 pieces. I had to weld in a sleeve here to fill the gap left by moving the left side down so the body line was flat. First 2 pieces of the pizza welded in. Body/paint guy has something to do now... ![]() Refit of the bumper and I have a fairly straight line across the back and an even gap to the left side. It isn't perfect, but it's a lot better than what I started from... ![]()
