What other rust repair parts do I need?
So far, I have all of these parts to repair the rust in the hell-hole area of my car (plus the rear trunk) - are there any more parts available that I could buy before I take my car to the bodyshop for the repair?
I have: 1) Right Side Engine Shelf 2) Inner Wheelhouse, Upper Right 3) Battery Tray and Support Kit 4) Rear Trunk Floor Here are some pics of my car: ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Thanks. Which of the firewall panels do you think I need - the Inner Firewall, Right Lower? Here's a pic of it:

firewall part
I have the outer firewall metal piece, I didn't use it, for sale 1/2 of whatever restoration design sells it for.

That piece goes below the engine shelf, yours looks solid.
I dont know which firewall piece you need. I had one fabricated from what we cut out. This cost less, and I wasnt looking for too original. But that looks like the one. Will need fitting though, I found the car didnt rust according to the panels that were available!? Go figure! ![]()

Yeah, I'll just have the bodyshop fabricate the remaining pieces that I need and hopefully it won't be too expensive.

I wish i had some pics of my rust restoration, they're all on digital video. Besides that, most of the parts are very easy to fabricate by a competent body man. Some one with a few years of restoration experiance will have no trouble and should make it look original. Good luck, Don.
