Weather permitting, tomorrow I intend to cut the rear panel out of a pre-facelift shell that is destined for scrap.
My intention is to cut just outside the seams of the rear panel.

Just wanted to canvas opinion of whether any other adjacent metal should be retained before I wade in with the cutting disk?
Schadenfreude - the German's haven't got a word for that.

Check very carefully where it is joined and check the condition of the upper most box section for rust.
