well i changed my plugs today, car runs great, but i backed into a van that was parked at my friends shop and really hurt the rear quarter on my passenger side. I was wondering if anyone had one? i am going to try and fix it myself as well as i can, but does anyone have one on a parts car? and no i am not a bad driver i am just an idiot!!!

Sorry to hear about your owie! I've got one still on the shell of a parts car. I'm not sure how I would get it to you in one peice, and without costing a fortune in shipping though. Just how bad is the damage? These don't look like a lot of fun to replace! Oh yea, hang in there! S*** happens!

Yea they have to be cut off and welded back on. Is the damage big and where in the rear panel?

If you don't buy it from him, I saw one on ebay yesterday (no affiliation). It was black and cut right after the door jam.

The damage is in the back part of the quarter panel right behins the wheel well, I think i need to buy one from someone much closer, washington would cost a fortune to ship. But thanx for the help anyways, anyone else cloesr have any ideas, there are none currently on ebay

I have a dent on the passenger side , right behind the wheel well also, mine hopefully can be pulled. Go to your local collision center or body shop and see if they can pull it out. I don't know how bad the damage is so I'm not sure if that's an option. Also, I guess you missed out on the ebay auction.

Good luck

I also have a dent on the driver's side quarterpanel right behind the rear wheel. I don't have a picture of it handy, but it's pretty nasty (i.e., crosses the area where the flare pulls in toward the hatch). I've been told by a couple of body shops that they doubt they can get it out and would rather replace the quarterpanel, which seems like heresy to me given that the dent is not *that* big, certainly does not affect the car's structural integrity, and my car's paint is original and in fantastic shape. I just can't see dropping $3k to have the panel replaced and half the car repainted over this.

However, if you keep looking, you may be able to find someone who cares enough to try to pull it. I've got a retired restoration guy lined up who'll take care of it (one way or another) in about a month, so I'll let you guys know whether he was able to pull it. He's an excellent fabricator, so I've been told to hold out hope.

i talked to nine44 and he said that if we need to cut a piece off of the panels i told you about we could do it, but i need to get my welder working again, i think its out of argon and wire.

Hey, I finally found the post, lol. Yeah, xs talked to me the other day about it. You can get with me or him, maybe cruise up here or something to avoid a rediculous shipping charge.

Awesome, well i called a local junkyard, and they want $400 for the rear quarter, this includes cutting it off, but if your willing to help me xsboost then thats would be great, just let me know, Macfreak007@insightbb.com, how far of a drive is it up there?
