Men!
I'm looking for a picture of the liftback parcel shelf.
Since I'm quite sure I will not be able to source one, I'll make my own.
However, I have nothing to go from so if one of you would be able to take some pics or, if you are really bored and helpful, measurements, I could make my own!
In return, I will create a short write up about it when it's finished.

By shelf do you mean the two on the side or the actual panel that moves with the hatch? I can probably let you know tomorrow.

cool!
Well, actually, both would be good. I have nothing now, so would love to see how it is supposed to look.
Thanks!

So its 24" long and 39 1/2" wide. The sides are 21 1/2" long and 5 1/2" wide getting smaller towards the back. It has a curve towards the back of it. What are you making this out of?

Hmmmmmm... that wasn't the parcel shelf I recently saw in a 1983 liftback... the one in the 1983 was VERY funky indeed... it was articulated... working similarly to an umbrella, but instead of many arms, it operated on 2 elastic mounts that "bent"(tiny hinges) the parcel shelf as the lift was opening.
