Yep, rear subframe is out :( found some rust under the factory sealent in the boot.. So I removed the subframe within an hour.. I've ordered a new closing plate, and already got a new valance.. The other side has nothing in sight..

Happy I found it now rather than later, I am going over the full boot floor, cleaning and treating so I know, all the rust is gone.. :)

It's always hiding somewhere isn't it. Iron oxide needs a new hobby.

Great work Dan and at such pace! I couldn't keep up with you in a million years.

interesting finds, a bit of more rust, always hiding under rear subby, word of advise, once you done the repairs, give all a double coating of whatever you use(first por15,it is the best), when subby is back on certain areas you cannot get to again till you take it of again,... ;D

Hello Dan - great repair on that rear quarter. It all seems never ending doesn't it? But you're getting there

All the best
Hugh
