So apparently the bit I've been calling the rear shroud is properly titled the "turtle deck". Either way, this is the upper skin of the rear part of the body. Where a trunk or boot lid would normally be. When my brother got the car, this had been cut out to improve access to the boot area. Unfortunately, whomever did the cutting did not understand the physics of a unibody car, and cut a major support structure (there is a beam just below the skin, which was removed).
I managed to find a used turtle deck from Autofarm in Ontario, Canada. You can see it in previous blog posts. When they cut it, they cut it large, and left some trim pieces on. That's awesome and wonderful, but now it's time to get rid of the pieces I don't need, and get it ready to install. This is the first of a series of videos I took while working on the rear tub. It's basically a metal and bodywork series. I took some photos, but by and large, the next several entries will be more video than photo based. It makes it much easier to explain what I'm doing. I hope you like how it turns out.
