the back panel must be replaced.
the question is:
the whole panel must be replaced?
As I see the whole body is in one piece, only the front wings not....
but the back panel the top and the rest is in one piece...

???: what is the best solution to replace that part(back) of the car??
84' 360 GLS (B200K) saloon :)

I cannot be sure on this one, however, if you open the rear door, and look for a seam on the falt sill at the bottom, there should be one. However being a saloon, you have the problem of the rear window actually being joined to this panel, rather than on a hatch back the window is within the boot lid. The panel would also need to be joined into the roof neatly where it meets on the pillar. I'm no expert, but these are jsut my thoughts and from the replacement panels I've seen for hatchbacks, never seen one for a saloon, but I expect they exist.
