Just bought a cheap BGT and need to get some advice. As I can’t get out of the house for a while I thought I’d try on here and see what you all think.

I was wondering which panels I need to replace for some welding work? The car was abandoned for ten years, the front being sound with a good engine, the back needing rebuilding. I’m not doing the welding myself but have found someone local. However as the car will need to be trailered I’m trying to get as much advice as possible first.

The car is a 74 BGT and I think I will need left and right rear repair panels, full rear valance, and probably the internal boot corner pieces. What I’m wondering is, can the rust in the top of the rear wings be filled or do I need the full rear side panels instead of the repair panels?
