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

Now I got it. I usually have to dig out old grease with a screwdriver so I hope this will plug itself.
