Then as part of operation “This is why I can’t have nice things” I then attacked the back of the car with an angle grinder again…
But don’t worry.. this panel was rooted anyway, it’s been damaged in a past rear ender & then badly repaired, so rather than try & fix this one I’m just going to replace it
Now looking at the original boot floor where it goes over the diff, there seems to be a raised line in the floor
My new boot floor replacement panel doesn’t have that raised line…
So I had a bit of a play with the bench vise bead roller
I probably won’t get it perfect, but it’ll be close & whilst I know that close only counts in horseshoes & hand grenades.. in this case I’ll extend that to far inner reaches of boot floor too
