Evening guys, i finally got the rear panel cut off today ready to replace, once off we found some lovely crustiness in the o/s floor panel where the battery/battery tray will sit.

Does anyone know if you can get a repair panel for this area or is it basically gonna be making a plate for it and welding it in place??

I did see the repair panels but was unsure if it included the floor part or just the outer panel part

41.12.1.972.588

Does that include the floor of the tray going out to join the rear quarter?

In the picture on OEM it looks like just the vertical side piece.

Thanks
Ben

Ben, it DOES include the floor of the battery tray, the picture is a bit rubbish really. be warned though some of the spot welds are an absolute pig to get on and drill out, mine was a little easier as id got no rear panel on at the time of doing it. Can i imagine with the rear panel fitted its a pig to do..

Jonesy, thanks for the reply. I am replacing the rear panel and probably the offside quarter too, so it shouldn't be too bad.

Any chance you could take a picture of the panel for me?

Thanks
Ben
