Any one ever have this problem?

I have had this rust hole on the driver's side rear quarter panel for awhile now and I would really like to have it repaired.


How much would it cost (ball park figure) to have it repaired?

What is involved in repairing it?


Here is a pic

ideally it would be nice if you could find a parts car and get that section thats bad on your car and cut it out and then weld the new section on...

if you cant get something like that maybe just fab up some sheet metal and work from there matching the lines and making everything line up...

my guess if a body shop had to fix it then paint it roughly 400 bucks maybe... just a guess.
