After the hell hole repair, I have the engine shelf to repair/replace. Question for those of you who have done this before, I’m trying to decide on splicing in a short repair section or trying to extract the remaining original panel and install the whole new RD panel. The latter being the most work.
Not a special car in terms of rarity, options, or other. Been doing lots of rust repair. Just not sure how to tackle it yet. Thanks   Look forward to hearing your feedback. |

Done it both ways.
Actually there are 3 ways... Complete R&R. Patch it & replace the seal rail whole and, Patch it & try to splice the seal rail as well. Since most of the shelfs now come with rail attached I tend to R&R complete. |
