Second that, my 'little bit in the door jam' that was smoothing out the metal fold lines turned into an inch thick over the entire rear quarter.Originally Posted by playwme
Plus something will be causing the bog to crack and shift, my guess would be steel expanding as it rusts.
our yellow van had been smashed in one of the quarter panels you would not have known until it was soda blasted, there was bog right up the side just below the crease in the rear quarterpanel...thankfully Adam our panel beater was able to straighten up with minimal bog, but at maximum cost (hours taken)

ill take to it with fridge magnet and see how bad the rust is under that paint.. we at least take a guess.. I'm planing to save up for a rust removal and soda blast if it comes to it.. ohh and i plan to sell off the rims.. And get something else because i heard about the shearing of the bolts
if the running gear in this is good i could buy this one for parts as well http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=200590080640
Again, you see that area is bad for rust (that's some nice bog).
Just be sure the v8 one isn't as bad as the 6cyl but hidden under paint.
ive got some more photos that are in high res about the HZ 308.. seems to have some bubbles along the seam of the body join and the vent seems to be rusting a bit too.. im still going up sunday to inspect as the word from the Ford guys is that the EF has a worn 'big end' and is pretty much screwed
you seen this one?
