Bodywork Session 13: Nearside rear under panel woodwork

Today we continue with CRG163’s rear nearside under panel woodwork as we concentrate on removing old wood and create a new corner section.

Now to carefully remove the old wood situated under the upper panel without the need to remove the rear nearside window.  Care is taken to remove this bit by bit whilst Sion begins to prepare the replacement section following measuring. 

Some of the old and removed woodwork on the floor.

Whilst undertaken woodwork replacement to the nearside rear corner panel we also look at how the rear number plate section will come together.  This is the original rear number plate frame which was uncovered underneath what was thought to be the correct number plate section.  Any thoughts welcome as we think there must be front section missing which would hold the new panel to the frame.

The old woodwork removed from the nearside rear corner section.

A new curved wooden section meticulously created by Sion made up of many wooden sections.  What Sion has created is truly remarkable and will be hidden unfortunately once the nearside rear corner panel is put in place.  Thankfully this website will ensure that this section is seen forever more.
