Interior Resoration - Metal Panel Rust behind upholstery - how to proceed ?

[neon]

Now I see what you mean by bumps..if you were going through customs, they'd have to open that up. That probably is rust that is at full blossom, behind the vinyl. Never seen that...I have a few sets, and all have a little oxidation, but you might want to start with a set that's a little better. Are the fronts in similar condition?

Dave v. I am sure my part is fully rusted through, would you be interested in selling one of yours and provididing a photo ?

I'll see what I have and get back to you via a PM with a pic or two.

dave v. in nc - I am embarrassed to say I cannot find the PM feature on this forum platform. Could you tell me where to find a PM ?

Just grip the back of the seat along the parcel tray and pull forward, then you'll have the upper sides exposed and you can then pull it towards the front and out. They are only held in by friction.

Much appreciated !

Envelope in upper right corner opens Conversations. You will find that trim parts, almost all interior parts and many others parts have not been available for decades.

Thanks Chris. Glad I'm on the forum where I am most likely to find the "NLA's"

@neon ... i probably have some of the pieces that you might be in need of. i know i have a backup set of the rear side panels as well as the fronts (both without wood)

I think the bigger issue are the gaskets at your rear window. If that is rusted through, you have quite a leak.

Yes excellent point.
