Triumph TR3-Rear Valance Work-Part 8

A few days ago I tackled more final patch piece fitting plus removing the rear bumper bolt that had been ground off to remove the rear bumper. (done a few years ago). I needed to do this prior to attaching the replacement patch panel on the right hand side. Of course everything was well rusted and after a fair amount of effort movement was experienced. Unfortunately the bolt nut (under the frame) was too rusted for total removal so I applied liberal amounts of WD-40 and hopefully today I will be able to remove the bolt completely and put new ones on the purchase list...another step towards completing the rear valance.

The garage has "once again" become very cluttered with tools and piles of scrap sheet metal pieces everywhere so the first order of business will be to clean up and create some order...It is -37 degrees C. this morning so I will probably wait until later in the day to venture out to the garage and to fire up the heater....
