Hi jim
I looked at the Rares site as well & found that part, but & don't think it is correct for a Statesman. They are very different in this rear window & boot area.

Hi DrTerry,I think its got to be a good start thou as I dont think they do that part(or anyone) ,probably not enough demand,are the rear windows the same as sedan?If so he could "trace" one and make a panel,he's got the skill to do it,he's a reworker at our work and thats "metal finishing". Dont think he's gonna find one thou. Edited by user Friday, March 18, 2011 8:10:10 PM(UTC)

I agree, if Rares don't do it, then it's likely no one does. Having said that, I think it would be better to make one from scratch. The normal sedan/coupe section is not even close. It is essentially the boot seal area. The Statesman window frame has no connection with the boot seal area. Dr Terry Edited by user Friday, March 18, 2011 9:21:09 PM(UTC)

Or find a rust free Statesman being wrecked and cut it out. |

no one makes that section or the dog legs for the wagon/statesman, there is a bloke in the restored cars mag who will make up anything, I think hes called tinwest & is in melb, otherwise you have to make up your own..
these was a HQ statesman shell on ebay a week or so ago, not sure if its still there.. |

This one? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/H...ars&hash=item336612dbcc
It says it is VERY rusty, but looks more like surface rust to me. Back window section is probably stuffed but it might be worth a look if not to far away? Wreck it out and sell the rest and make some $ |
