1969 Beaumont Convertible rear inner wheel wells - how hard to repair?
Permalink  

Hi bodywork gurus, couldnt help myself and went to look at a 69 Beaumont convertible that popped up about 3 hours from me.

Was painted about 25 years ago 2 stage system and car is extremely solid everywhere except for inside trunk at top of inner wheel wells ( see pics).  Owner said he wanted save a few bucks when it was done and body shop said could be fixed later from inside trunk without affecting body/paint.

What are your thoughts?

Its an original 106,000 mile L48 car from Medicine Hat AB with lots of paperwork etc. including pics of bodywork where new quarters were installed.   Its obviously a pretty hidden issue but could this be repaired for 3-4K ??? down the road?

Thanks for any opinions you can offer.

Close up pics may not be obvious so circled them on larger trunk pic.  Rust i this pic is just surface rust.

Are you saying it needs complete inner tubs or just some patches on the inner tubs? If the inner tubs just need patching, certainly less than 3-4K. At least around here (in my garage!)

Hi Carl, no the wheel tubs I believe were actually replaced (From pics I have). It's actually the edges of the trunk pan where they meet the wheel tubs that are suspect. But regardless thanks for your comments back on potential cost for patching, I won't hold you to it of course ;) but appreciate your experienced feedback! Seems owner has at least one full price offer already but he promised to let me know before he makes a decision.

 Thanks, I guess by the time 2 patches are put in that might not be much more work?

I own the exact same car (not convertible) in a 4 speed bucket with factory tach and duals.
