So here is the deal. I need to do some rust repair on my inner deck lid for my 27 T coupe. There are some spots where a quarter shapped patch will do and then there are some areas that will need more extensive work.
I just uploaded 9 photos of the damage to the inner structure. These photos are located in my project journal. It pretty much shows all the areas that needs attention.
Should I look to replace larger amounts of structure and hand form new pieces of sheet metal and weld in new sections or just work with the areas are rusted through with a bunch of smaller patches and hope for enough meat left to weld to. I have to be careful here cause they don't make this part in the re pop or OEM world. To find a good inner structure you are still going to pay in blood. Used deck lids in serviceable condition are in the unobtainum price range.
The worse part of this structure is the left side left rear corner Some right side and right rear corner.
I would be open to advice on how to move forward as I am not a body man but an average hobby metal man.
