how do you plan on fixing that?

Please dont tell me Bondo or lead fill....


if you are gonna remove it you may as well buy another doner car with a good Rear... cause that is all one piece....


aside from that back end nice job... hope you own a welder...

Back Quarter

Bought it from a guy who claims his ex-girlfriend borrowed the car and brought it back like this. He parked it in his garage for two years before I found it. Already replaced the quarter. Working on interior over the winter and new paint in the spring.

Replaced with quarter from a doner car. My best friend has his own body shop. I'm a lucky girl!!!

I wish I would have remembered to take pics during the quarter swap. Basically, we cut the doner quarter large, cut out my car's quarter then trimmed and welded the replacement in. Not as simple as that sounds, but well worth the trouble
