Here are some angles showing what it should look like. There is a definate indentation where the rear bumper is welded on to the rear quarter. I am guessing your smooth seam and a lack of paint sticker on the inside of the rear boot would indicate a poor rear end repair at some point. It is unusual to get rust there on a non repaired car:

Hope these shots clear it up for you, let me know if you need any different angles/ close ups etc

Looks very tidy. Wanna teach me how to do that? ;)

Now you just need a new sticker for that back panel.

Nice work. We do our own work too although we dont do structural welding. I say we, Dad does it I "learn" and make tea.

No, they've been on the car as long as I've had it. They don't look especially bling in real life - a photo can hide a multitude of sins.

Now where did I leave my rear light buffer? :lol:

had a colour change on the wheels i thought it might look cleaner but the rims are very dulled so not sure what to do there?

anyway body is almost done needs leavin for a few days now to be buffed.
got a Porsche logo which is different than the original but i think it cleans the back up a bit and repainted the 944 badge.
