Ok so how about cutting the shaded area and plating the bottom?

Only problem is the green lines show where the body support mounts run downward. Ideas?

I like the stationwagon idea for the secure stoage. Another option could always be a tray back but cannot afford to had it off the road that long :cry:

By 1/4 chop, I meant cut the rear quarters off (the section you damaged) and run a tube rear bar under the cut. I didn't mean cut the back of your car off ;)
