Painted behind the rear corner in areas which will be difficult to spray once it is install. Weld through primer inside the pillar for protection.

Image
Image

With the long panel trial fitted and clamped on, it was time to weld the rear corner on. The rear edge of the long panel was clamped to ensure correct fitment...

Image
Image

OG taillight section was used to trace on before cutting the new hole. Used all of the dimensions that I took before cutting off the rear corner.

Image
Image

Welds ground back and ready for a quick spray of primer...
