Rear Lamp Panel - Part 5

Firstly, an apology. In my enthusiasm to get this job done, I forgot to take any photos during the work. Damn. For those of you who read the previous post on the subject, I decided to cut out a section of boot floor and use a bit of steel to re-make it in order that it would meet the rear lamp panel. This I did.

The area between the grey seam-sealer stripes is new metal.
Next job was to grind down and fill the welds on the inner rear wing gutter channels, where it meets the upper section of the rear lamp panel. Lots of thin skims of filler and lots of high-build primer lead to a less than satisfactory conclusion. More more needed here to replicate the factory finish on the offside.

This side looks ok
 
This side looks a bit "fillerey"
 
Ignore the Solihull dust badges!
