This panel was initially the first panel I started the restoration with. At that point I decided to replace the wheel arch, the lower rear corner and another older damage at the top. But once I’d finished the rest of the restoration, I decided that this panel had to be done over completely, since it was basically a mess!!!!
Very unhappy with the result of patching up 3 areas! After gone around the car with repairing, I decided to do this over completely!
