Hey Clarky, Check out the Syracuse NY craigslist under auto parts. There is a guy that has a red shell of a 87 for sale. Perfect for what you need....Been for sale for a while. Not sure what he wants for it.

Just when you thought you saw it all, well nice part is you can find a used rear panel & do it right at this point. Keep your head up, you are going to have a really nice ride when you are all done.

Holy mackerel! Best of luck on your project!

I especially love the piece of baseboard in that last picture.

Not that I'd ever wish this on anyone - but imagine getting rear-ended and having all this wood pop out. Or the back end of your car start falling apart like the car in Blues Brothers.

wow...just...wow... someone really was a butthole when fixing the bod work in the past.. DO THE JOB RIGHT OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL!!!! thank you for posting the pics and for doing the job over and making sure the car is right. call the previous owner over and beat him senseless with the wood, lol!

I talked to him tonight. Going to do what I can to pick it up. Thanks for the heads up.

Wow. Were you driving around in the body buck GM used to design the darn thing?

clarky

Surprised I did'nt find hardwood flooring when I pulled the carpet.

Not really much to whats supposed to be left rear quarter. Can only get better from here right?

mazdaverx7

^^^ agreed, if that's the worst of what you find then i'd be happy not finding anything close to that.. i understand the logic behind the wood, but that's something that you joke about someone doing, never actually seeing something like that in person..

clarky

Wish I'd known to use a stud finder before sanding.

When I saw that I just stared at it, not believing what I was seeing . I've seen some really bad body work but nothing close to that. Just hope you don't find anymore surprises.

Corvettewaldon

WOW...no wow!...did they at least use pressure treated wood?! lol
good luck, looking forward to seeing after pix.

This im why im all against the whole reuse and recycle tv ads, people take it just to far. Whats next , wheels from aluminium trash can lids. Or TPI runners from aluminium clothes dryer exaust tubing.

Now I know what to look for when I need some bargain repairs!

clarky

Well driving to Syracuse Wednesday to get rear quarters.
