      • Rear Parcel Shelf and firewall

        Trimmed off the rusty metal from the donor shelf which left the exposed inner section, treated the surface with rust converter and left to sit for 24 hours, and finally sprayed with weld thru primer ready for fitting.

                      • One of the doors only needed a patch across the bottom
