WTD - Rear Decklid

[Fishcop]

Hi Guys

I began looking at my rear decklid tonight and have found significant rust in the inner frame on the bottom edge (another poor PO repair). It's a pity as it's straight and clean everywhere else. A good metal worker could fix it easily, but I just have too much to do with the rest of my car...

So..., I have a pretty much perfect glass ducktail to swap if anyone has a standard decklid they'd part with. I can probably use a later lid also (they're slightly different from the early version) if you have one.

I'll be doing the big family xmas drive through NSW and Vic over December, so pick-up/delivery is possible.

As a last resort I'll buy what you have outright

Please give me a shout if you think you can help

When John finds one, I'm looking too !

I can fit my new alloy one I guess and sell the 69 one on there, will inspect for rust etc I know it has 2 ton of paint on it don't think its hiding any nasties though.

Bahia Red lid goes with Tangerine doesn't it???

What's wrong with yours Andy?

Clyde, if your's passes your inspection - please let me know what you'd like for it

Cheers

I have bought some gear from this guy and he seems good he has a lid for $80 http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...ulse-send.html

Do the later engine lids (post 69) match if so up to what year I would be interested to know ?

Clyde, I understand the profile of the lid remains the same (and thus the fit), but the differences are in the inner frame and particularly the lack of cut-outs for the number plate lights.

There is also one on ebay for $100 with too many holes http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Porsche-911-S...item19c0a66d51 but it ends shortly. If you dont mind fixing a few holes i have one in similar shape (too many holes, but sound structure) that you can have for free, plus postage from Adelaide. Happy to send pics.

It failed miserably John same issue as yours, only lots worse I suspect.

I held Clydes lid in my scrawny arms on Sunday and it is indeed very light, is the frame on it also aluminium or is it only the skin?
P.S. back to the topic of the thread, the offer of a good free lid doesn't even warrant a response.

[Fishcop]

Sorry Craig! I've been at work - I can have sneak look at the board, but having admonished one of my crew for too much internet time I'm waiting until I get home to respond to most things

I'm very keen But just how many holes?

[9er]

Will post some pics tomorrow.

Its all alloy, hope the tail was to your liking Chris and not too many Vic bugs got in to the car on the way back home

The tail is great, thanks again, I am taking it in tomorrow to see about getting it soda blasted.
