Hey all, I am looking for a picture of the inside of a rear apron. If anybody has removed the complete rear apron below the lid line to make repairs and you have a photo of that, could you please post it? Thank you very much.

Are you looking for pictures of the backside of the apron, i.e. the back of:

or are you looking for pictures of the body if this part above was removed?
I can get you the first one if needed, not the body. |

If that was steel, flip it over.

Brian,
Let me know what info you need. I have one or two outers up in the attic that I can dig out on the weekend and get some pics and measurements off. |

I need to cut mine while it is still in the car. Trying to sort where to cut.

Something like this?
Note, this doesn't have the air divider that the earlier cars got.
I hope this helps.

Bob, did you just drill out spot welds? That will definitely help.

No. On the car I used a die grinder to cut between the lines that I wanted to remove/save, and on the other one I cut the flap edges on the body side to save the flap edges so I could drill out some spot welds to weld it back on, once I straightened it out (I got it from Russ). There might be some more pics in my Notchback Gallery if you need them. I cut the old one off as it was full of bondo from the PO before I got the car from Neil.
