Got most of the back end apart, I knew that the step son had put the car into the ditch once, as there was a visible crack on the fender and the inner fender wall.
Now that I have everything out of the way I see that it is cracked into the main structure. I can see daylight through the crack when I am in the car as the crack is offset.
Was wondering if I took a couple of pieces of 1 1/2 x 3/8 flat bar , drilled a couple of holes through them and sandwiched the crack between them, could I suck it together enough to fix the crack? Or would I end up cracking it further?
Would I need to loosen the body mount bolts to give it room to move? Really don't want to remove the body before this is repaired.
Also found a lot of cut wires, some capped others not, on the drivers side found this (relay?), which did have cut wires from it , guessing its for the power antennae?
As always any and all feedback is muchly appreciated
Thanks George
