Visited the shop today to see the progress. Feels good to have it started after eyeing that rust for so long. (my car and I just renewed our vows
)
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.
