I'm working on a 90 RS restoration and the underbody has been bent in several places, typical jacking point hem flanges bent in all 4 places and both rear quarter gfx mounting areas have damage. I need pictures of good undamaged rear gfx mounts that I can refer to as I try to reshape the bad mounting areas that I have.

I added pictures of the bad mounting areas and you can see the passenger one is the worst, with the separation of the gfx from the quarter panel. Driver side looks like it might be OK and only missing the gfx mounting tab, although the rear mounting tab looks like it is separated from the quarter mounting point by a slight distance, but I just don't know how much yet.

If anyone has a couple good pictures they could share of both driver and passenger sides I would appreciate it. Please post or email to me at chrgr500@outlook.com.

 

Wow, 2 months later and no help with an existing undamaged picture. OK, so I know everyone is busy enough. I dove in a was able to reshape the passenger side OK and it looks passable with a donor ground effects panel. So that one wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.... assuming I have it shaped correctly. BUT, it turns out the driver side is the one I really need some help with.... After trying to reshape it to fit a donor panel in, it just doesn't quite make it. It seems that the underbody has been pushed up and there may even be a fold of quarter panel skin up under the bumper cover to quarter panel joint. I'm going to pull the cover and take a closer look.


I would welcome any suggestions or good pictures though.

 

OK, after pulling the bumper fascia off, the damage is apparent and definitely the quarter panel seam is not "right". Closest thing to right that I can find on the board is a picture from Twin_Turbo, Nov 2009 circa, "Re: Pulling apart my 87 IROC", not an unmolested view but probably close enough to help me - thank you Twin_Turbo for those posts and such a great thread you put out there!


Now I can at least get something close to what is needed.


mmm... pull the seam down and straight and pound the inner vertical straight and that should push the lower gfx mounting surface back where it should be... maybe...
