I am pretty new to welding type body repair. I just want to know the best way to go about this repair without doing the whole quarter pannel. Is there a fender weld in patch piece I can buy? Cut one out at the junkyard? or something better?? I hear this is a pretty common problem area so any help would really mean a lot, thanks in advace, pic should be attached. On the left side there is rot cut out and the right has a lot of filler it seems.

 

You can do half quarters. Its pretty much involves cutting a straight line a few inches below your hatch line and welding a new one in. I'de say just cut the lip out, but you have bad rust on the rest of it too.(under the gfx) I have the same problem with my car and plan on just patching in a lip.

 

Any idea where I can find a quality one of the replacements, I only found one website with a similar piece, but didn't seem like a site to trust for a good fit. Thanks for the help and more would be great.

 

Cut one out from a local junkyard! you could go aftermarket, but... it probably won't fit right. Try yearone and places like that. I've seen em around. I do think you could get GM ones too, but they are more pricy.
