Hi all,
Just seeing if anyone can help with a step-by-step thread or info on this post on how to replace this rear engine lid hinge panel? I can’t seem to find any info at the moment. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance.

Personally, I’d just repair that one instead of replacing it entirely.

Yeah I did do a repair however it’s had quite a battering in its life and don’t particularly want to repair it not straight(far from) and would require a fair bit more to do right.. replacing it is the right thing to do on this occasion as much as I want the easy out..
