If it's solid Keith, the one on my car is solid but a bit twisted. Is it full length from jacking point to rear valance ?

Actually i'm begining to wonder if mine can be repaired, Picture shows the chassis rail compared to the straight one on the drivers side, top arrow shows a kink and the bottom arrows show how the bottom of the chassis rail has been twisted across towards the right

Expressed Panels??

usually when chassis legs are bent in this way its because its had a bump on  the end of the chassis leg at the back and if you try to fit a new section it won't fit because the boot floor will be bent as well and the profile of the chassis will now be different to the floor unless you give it a pull, it won't be apparent to the naked eye but it will be there.

Your right, rear n/s corner took a hit, i have a new (good 2nd hand) n/s rear wing boot floor upper and lower panels going back on.

Yes, saw these but looking for the complete leg from rear valance to rear jacking point. Thanks Keith.

Can I ask how you went with this. I Need the same with a front hanger. A passenger side chassis rail. If it’s not new, it must be straight and rust free but I’d prefer a new one. I am in Sydney but shipping can be organised.

Going to try and salvage the original, but still got my eye out for a new one

I did find that Express Panels make them but 8 month lead time.
