Going with a bolt in battery tray.
And on some level feels wrong to put holes in the metal I just replaced.    Using stainless flange head screws on the battery tray and gold zinc flange bolts on the tray support. |

Peeled up the cross brace in the trunk.
 Some perforations found on the right.  Lots of flaky rust along the top seam.  Gonna need more metal. |

Tail lights look good. Sort of.

Since I think this repair is beyond my current skill set, I'm starting a separate thread to solicit help and focus on this fender repair. Here - http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=372158
I am looking to take chassis measurements on it this weekend to get a sense of the existing dimension versus the book dimensions. I appreciate the help! |

Needing to find some positive momentum after uncovering the very bad rear corner, I was able to tack in the passenger side engine shelf thereby completing the hell hole and engine bay metal repairs (till I find something else). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
  Having been at this area for a long time, you can imagine how satisfying it is to see all the metal bits back where they’re supposed to be. I’m leaving the grinding and clean up to another day. |

PITA removal
Rear Tow Hook Bracket My recommendation is to sacrifice it and cut it apart rather than trying removal in one piece.  These next photos show the damage in the tail panel right to left where the left side has been bent down. This is even after some judicious whacks with the sledge and 2x4. Note the gap on the top edge between the body and the square.   This area is going to need a lot of attention.

It's an option to cut out all the damaged stuff and replace it with new metal
