Here's one for you body work/paint experts:
I'm going to be de-rusting the SVX at the beginning of April. Look in my locker for the pictures, but basically I have heavy rust going on the rear wheel wells. They haven't started to crumble yet, but it's not pretty up close. I haven't removed the plastic cladding, so I don't know how far the rust goes underneath.If the rust goes bellow the cladding, into the wierdly-shaped metal with all the rubber plugs and stuff, I'm guessing it will be much harder for the shop to repair?
Should I buy replacement quarter panels? They run less than $300/side. The boxes will be humungous, so I'll get horribly raped on shipping, but I don't think that's a bad cost. I would have them shipped to Ogdensburg or northern NY and drive across to get them. (That's a couple hours of driving each way. Not a big deal)
What do you think? I think quality would be better. After all, these are perfectly shaped replacement panels. What about cost? The panels would set me back ~$850 when all is said and done.
