Hi guys,

Started restroring my E30 properly and there’s more rust than I expected. I’ve got inner and outer arch panels, scuttle and a few other bits, which seems quite a big job as is. But I’m struggling with the rear battery well in the boot. My foot can fit through it. Is it best to fabricate something myself, or find a breaker with a rust free section in the boot and cut that out? If the latter, dirs anyone have this part available off a breaking car? ... or, is this panel available from the dealer?

Thanks!
