Re: Quarter panel rust repairs

Here are some pics of my repair in progress. (Next year you all will probably see me at the Reading meet minus 1 arm and 1 leg ).

Like Tapani's car in his recent rust repair thread (which turned out awesome) the inside of the quarter that meets up with outside metal of the quarter was rusted through badly. It will be replaced with a Subaru replacement panel.

Here is the backside, the smaller more deteriorated piece of metal is the inner section


Outside of piece


Here is the cut away. The rusted section was not as extensive a Tapani's. The front of the wheel well opening below the cladding was clean. We are not going to be replacing the entire quarter panel after all, we will most likely just be using a section of it.
