I recommend leaving it, but if you really want a VERY good back panel, call AGM Sportscars. Alan is a super nice guy and very businesslike.

i would leave it alloy if i could repanel it and do a good job 
but all the hard work is done with the fibreglass panel and they look great so it seems a no brainer to me.
can i leagally move the rear lights off the wings to the rear panel?

it just needs a good clean and polish! Autosol to the rescue!
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

not happy with them and will be going for the fibreglass panel.

I don't have any pictures to hand. I can take one at the weekend if you like? I panelled it out with aluminium and it makes a fair size boot.
The cover was made by a chap who drives a tiger and was very reasonable, see an earlier post for details.

Second Picture
The panels can be unscrewed and removed if required although I did seal behind the joints so it would be a major task.

pretty much got the electrics all back together now just got main beam not working (relay clicks) and one indicator at the back not working so not bad
result i thought after having it all apart lol.
it started up first turn after being not run all winter (impressed) and ran like a clock thankfully my ecu extension cable seems to work perfectly and
the longer tube for the map sensor does not seem to have affected it either.
hoping to fit the new dash panel and wire up the new fuel guage by the end of this week and track down the lighting faults.
pics at the weekend
