REMOVING THE REAR FENDERS

 The rear fenders were difficult to remove.  There are probably ten small screws attaching the fender to the rear door jamb and they were all fused together with rust.because of their location inside the rear wheel well.   

Pictured to the right is one of the few concentrations of rust on this car..  This is another one of those areas that was not properly sealed from the factory. As a result, dirt and moisture was trapped between the fender and structure.  Repairing this area will require new patch panels.  Fortunately they are available from the UK and are a perfect fit...no after market parts for this car.

Tim will be visiting the shop soon...hope he recognizes his car.

I love my work,

Tom
