It's finally down after 8 weeks on the jack stands. Ugh! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif). I know; it shouldn't have taken that long but I'm old and stupid so I have two good excuses for being slow. Most of this is McMarks fault. Just kidding. I had read a post where McMark describes how to check your CV's. Mine failed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So, I ordered a set of CV's. Then that damned Otto posted these in the classified WTS:
 Since it was on jack stands and my trunk looked like this I decided to repair the trunk while it was up.  As I began fitting the rear panel piece I noticed the similarity between the rear panel and the piece in front of the trunk spar/brace and thought, maybe...... Then the G&R event happened and found another one of these panels ($5 cheaper than the one I bought from Otto) so I bought it, too! I said too because I also bought a set of Fuch's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Sure enough, after a few measurements and "trim to fit" I was able to "sneak" this rear panel piece into the front.  The slits were intentional to allow the piece to slid between.  This is one place that it didn't match. Notice the gap between the new piece and the brace. It's a gap appx. 15mm  |

Couple questions. Since this isn't load bearing, its just spot welded in, correct? Thats what it looks like. Makes sense.
Also, has anyone else used those new CV boots from Pelican? Mine had 2 blank bolt holes in them, like his. Do you plan on sealing them? I used nylon bolts from Home Depot, which seems to be working for now. Wood floors SUCKKKKKK! I had to do a whole downstairs in bamboo tongue and grove once. My knees and back have never hurt so bad (no sick jokes) |
