Another bit of my handy home repairs on the hatch, one rear light section done.
I had to remove the inner rear panels first, giving plenty of room to tackle this job.

Looking good will be nice to know that all traces of the big "C" have been removed.

Looks like no corners are being cut.

Who did your door trims?

fatslr, thanx mate. as for the door trims ployweld did them. but cools trims supplied the
material and fitted the carpet pockets.
note: as far i know now your best on getting all the material
from cools excellent bloke (steve), then get polyweld to do them,
but may take a few months but they do a good job.

I'm dreading repairing the rust I have in my rear shock towers. You seemed to have done a beautiful job of it, along with some other great repairs. Hadn't seen anyone else actually do that repair before. Cheers

Hi mate,

looking really nice. The repairs are really neat. Would you mind posting a close-up of the lower hatch corner rubber channels where they meet the side of the hatch? If that makes sense. Was that a rare spare panel. Im having trouble figuring out how the curve blends into the side of the hatch quater panel. Any help much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build
