Rear Quarter Panels same as Coupes'?

[JSvert240sx]

Are the rear quarter panels on the convertable 240sx's the same as those on a coupe model? thanks.....couldn't find any info using the search feature.

They should be identical to the coupe's with the exception of the connection to the C pillar. I'm not sure if the rear quarter in the coupe has any extension vertically toward where the C pillar goes up toward the roof.

I'm just not sure what point on the C pillar that fuse occurs.

Worst case, you get the coupe quarter and then shave off any upright metal at the C pillar area.

Can anyone else verify this... I'm just making an educated guess here?

Hmm.....The body line on one of my quarter panels doesnt quite look right, and then the bottems are alittle rusted from the salty roads around here (fiberglassed and bondo'd it over the summer). I think I'm just gonna replace it with a good one, but I wanna know if its just a simple plug and play or if I need some modifications... Thanks for the info, hopefully someone can verify it.

wellll... see its complicated. technically, a vert is a coupe that got hacked and welded. SO, somewhere under the vert's structure is a coupe. so theoretically if you are careful with your cutting and welding a coupe one should work. BUT... the way normal body ships repair 1/4's on the 240 is usually to cut along the wheel well in the interior and basically weld on a new corner of the car along the frame rail. So if they just did that then the coupe one wouldn't fit. You'd have to get a very loving and caring body shop to take their time.
