Hay CB 2+2 that looks great! The only part on my car that has serious rust on it is the back panel below the tail lights. I’ve been looking far and wide to find a replacement to no avail. I can find plenty of body parts just not what I need. The way you shaved off the bumper and cleaned up the back end looks great, I think Ill try that! Thanks for the idea JJ
What about the body panel under the trim? I have a 77 280Z that the actual body and valance are rusted away. The rest of the body is ok for some reason just those two parts degenerated.
I have the very same problem with my 280, not looking forward to the operation. Will probably follow the path Bruce took in replacing everything so as to eliminate potential problems.
