Yah I had to wonder if the panel wasn't replaced it looks so good. Odd
for a former Alberta cum interior of BC vehicle.

Great tip. Wondered about plugs. Rear plug seems to open up to frame
cross piece but will double check.

So many choices and details to look at before buttoning that up. Like
do I keep utility connectors, prep before insulation  (Fluid Film)
etc.

Who knew?

For $12K I feel pretty lucky but it needed $ and sweat pretty much right away.

Neil.
