Some pieces, they don't make, and you have to go after them the old fashioned way.
The trunk lid bolts on, so the thought is "I'll just find a better one, and change it". I found only three. They were all $500 and way worse than what I had. All the better ones had 10k cars attached to them.
So, I didn't have to plan and decide for long, the decision what to do was made for me.
Severe surface rust from my early-90s lacquer job total failure, years of outdoor storage, and just general neglect.
People took pictures of this rusted area at the track....patina is really "in".....but not my thing. Never was. It just happened. The bottom 2" of skin was holed through in several places, and the lip was gone on the backside but not as bad as the pieces sellers wanted $500 for.
You can sort of see the hem flange is cut off, and the bottom 2" has been replaced.
