I've written a long time ago. Things was happened with the car, a guy crashed my back two years ago. So I need to replace the tailpanel, bootlid, taillight, bumper, and needs some bodyjob. This accident brought with it that a large part of the car should be painted again. I made a fast repair job, because we want to go to Croatia. I started the real work at the last year, and now, i'm close to the finish.

uwbuurman: I have a few, not too good picture. First, I made a pretty fast "looks like everything okay" work, to go to a holiday. I drilled the tail panel, then screwed it into a thick oak board inside, I hooked with wire rope and pulled it out with a big gas. :launch The end result was not that bad. :D The left side popped out to its original shape. :D Then plastered the tail panel with a lot of fillers. It is good for a year. On the last autumn I started the work. Need some work on the front windscreen frame, a minor work on the right side floor panel, and here we are.
Jeroen: thanks, I did a lot of work on the car, and its just a short post here. :D

The pics in time order after I pulled out the tail panel. I said, that is a lot of filler. :screwy

It looks fine from a distance....

And after one year...wow it doesn't looks that great, time to work :loll
Image

of course, when I need a tailpanel, I can't find, so using an old one. After some care, I sandblasted the whole panel
Image

hmm looks fine to me
Image

...and with epoxi primered
Image

Thats the big story. Not too much pics, but of course I need to smooth the boot floor and there are still a few things that were much shorter in time to describe than to do it.

Thank you guys! The fuel consumption was not too good. The average fuel consumption with family and stuff is 12 litres. But I had some fuel leak from under the fuel pump screw. The normal fuel consumption on highway is cca 9 liter.
