Hi Athomik, Rear boot release is on the left-hand B-post just above the door latch. Move it towards the outside of the car. Type 3 panels - oh, the tricky bits. Type 3 Detectives if you have two spare arms and a spare leg, Osterley Californian Classics if you only have one spare arm and leg, Type 3 & 4 club could help with doors, and maybe a wing (not front panel, though). You only have to have money for them (us). I assume you are not actually in Japan! Dave.
