Just found some major rust on my rear driver's side quarter panel and i'm bugging out :tisk: i had an accident awhile back and the autobody shop obviously did a horrible job fixing it because i started sanding it and realized there was like 1/4" thick body filler all over my quarter panel covering a bunch of rust. Now my car looks like crap and has holes in it where the rust ate through.... I've been trying SO HARD to avoid rust here in jersey with the salty roads and such but its hard to when i DD my S14....

:sad: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE does anybody know if its possible to find an OEM metal replacement quarter panel? I dont care if its expensive, i just want this fixed properly...

P.S. i already started looking for people parting out S14's and nothing came up yet but im still looking...

Found it, but it's $583.

Taking that section out from another car might be cheaper.

You could just watch craigslist for a totaled one, and offer the guy like 20 bucks to let you take a sawsall to it.

If you're up for a small drive to the VA Beach area, there's an S14 being parted in Portsmouth.
