[6pack] Advice on Removing Rear Panel

[Robert N. Clark]

Ken,

There is a line of fasteners all along the top edge of the fender. You will need to remove the inner trim to access those.  There are not any on the B post/dogleg like those you found under the front carpet kick panel.

Subject: [6pack] Advice on Removing Rear Panel

Hi all,

The Beast is a 1973 TR6, with J type OD, a tired cockpit, and some rust in 
places, the worst being one rocker panel is pretty much rotted out.

After, oh, roughly 5 years or so of procrastination, I'm beginning the 
repair to the rusted out driver's side rocker panel.

Got the front Panel off, wasn't easy, took a while, quite a while, to find 
the bolts hidden behind the side carpeting.

Today and tomorrow I plan to remove the rear panel to fully expose the 
rocker panel.

Plan of attack is -

Remove bumper /extension
remove Tail light housing
Remove the obvious bolts inside the trunk, underneath the panel bottom.


Now, based on the hidden bolts I found on the front, I'm sure there are 
equivalents on the rear..

-are there hidden bolts way back under the body (can't think of the name) 
back toward the cockpit area
-can I reach these thru the trunk
-must I remove the finishing trim in the cockpit area to get at any?

- any BTDT experience you can offer?


Thanks a Bunch
