[Too Many Projects]

After I got the reverse light holes made, I moved on to the trunk latch bracket. This is after a week soaking in Evaporust to soften the black paint sprayed over the spatter and the spatter itself. During test fitting, I discovered this was still twisted from the crash too and had to bend it around to fit straight.

• 

After shooting with SPI epoxy.

• 

I was able to spot weld the top to avoid welding and cleaning that in the seal channel.

• 

Threw some sloppy welds on the bottom, to mimic the factory ones I cut out...

• 

Then I cut off the rusted right rain gutter...

• 

• 

Went at it with the crud thug for an hour and chewed all the rust off.

• 

Bought a set of Dynacorn gutters.

• 

Cut it down to fit what I had removed.

• 

Cut the flange that would have gone under the roof to fit below the existing flange for mounting.

• 

It fit and followed the roof very well.

• 

This will get butt welded after the panel bond cement cures.

• 

I forgot to take a pic with all the clamps on. I had 9 clamps holding it in place. It is very sturdy after curing.
