This is fifth in a series of posts on the automotive restoration of this 1964 Porsche 356C. Part One described condition of the Porsche after media blasting and the rebuild of the B-post, Part Two explains the fender reconstruction process, Part Three covered the front end reconstruction, and Part Four described the rebuild of the right-hand front fender and wheel arch.
The right-hand rear quarter is particularly weak in numerous areas, so we will section out these areas and graft in new material. Access to welds under the new metal is a difficult area to work due to the limited space. Fitting and manoeuvring a dolly for plannishing work is especially hard around the engine bay lip where the inner and outer panels narrow down and sandwich together. Due to accessibility we will probably finish the upper areas around the engine bay lip with lead.
We will make future posts to demonstrate the lead work undertaken. Meanwhile here are the photos below accompanied with short captions that explain the restoration of the right hand rear quarter.
