Going with a bolt in battery tray.
And on some level feels wrong to put holes in the metal I just replaced.    Using stainless flange head screws on the battery tray and gold zinc flange bolts on the tray support. |

Peeled up the cross brace in the trunk.
 Some perforations found on the right.  Lots of flaky rust along the top seam.  Gonna need more metal. |

Tail lights look good. Sort of.

Since I think this repair is beyond my current skill set, I'm starting a separate thread to solicit help and focus on this fender repair. Here - http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=372158
I am looking to take chassis measurements on it this weekend to get a sense of the existing dimension versus the book dimensions. I appreciate the help! |

Needing to find some positive momentum after uncovering the very bad rear corner, I was able to tack in the passenger side engine shelf thereby completing the hell hole and engine bay metal repairs (till I find something else). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
  Having been at this area for a long time, you can imagine how satisfying it is to see all the metal bits back where they’re supposed to be. I’m leaving the grinding and clean up to another day. |
