Been working on this all day. found it on craigslst for 25bucks. ended up coming home with a set of fenders the hatch a door and power window motors.

The best part, and only reason I would fix it is.... Its a flip glass! lol.
I have been looking for a flip up glass hatch for about 5 months, with no luck.
well.... found me one.

Its a little beat.... but no big.







Missing a few pictures. worked on it most of the day, ended up having to cut most of the mounting area out..... but thats fiberglass! :annoyed:








needless to say after about 4hours of work its good to go.... well after some sanding work,and maybe a little filler. but thats tomarrow. Later dudes.

I have the rear opening glass on my 84 & my 85!!

What's really cool is to completely remove the struts that hold it open & leave 'em off, that way all you have to do is remove the 2 nuts (1 on each side) from the bolts that go through the glass & take the glass completely out.....easy off, easy on!!

There is one at the u-pull here that I have been eyeing. Just seems like everytime I am in there, I don't have the time or cash for it.
