Default Request of a DIY

If someone can show me a DIY for the rear quarter panel thatd be great. My dad has 30 years of welding experience so i think he could help me on this one. My rear panel is pretty damaged, but is it worth it for me to replace the whole thing? or just bondo it?





thanks

The rear panel is part of the frame so that makes it a lot more difficult to fix. I would not bondo a car with that much damage. you will have to buy a rear quarter panel, drill out the welds on yours, and then weld the new one on.

Good luck.

Unless you have a spot welder, you won't be replacing a quarter panel the right way.

Don't hold your breath waiting for a DIY either.
