i have some rust above my back left wheel well makes my car look like shit........how would i go about fixing that?


Thanx

[civicracer_1990]

go get a new quarter panel and have your old one cut off and your new one welded on........then get a new paint job.......$$$$$$$$$$$$

just grind it really good all around...and fiberglass it...or bondo...then let it dry....grind it......repeat till you have the original shape....remember just because you can only see a little rust through the paint theres probably a shit load behind it..it like cancer...spreads and grows without even knowing about it

Panels are frickin expensive in Ontario! Im gonna be paying round 300 a piece!!!! I might try fixing the rust through body work..

[Skeme1]

300? shit. is that how much their going??

[fiercecivic]

yeh around that, i think the rockers are like 190 a piece. But thats alkl straight from honda im just checking in with sum other places now, cause i need new stuff badly.

Just grind the hell out of your panel and find someone that can weld decent and have them weld it up, grind it smooth, use some filler to smooth it out, spary some primer on and take it to a shop to prep and spray. Or you could let it go and have it consume your whole car in a few years.

will i have to take the panel off to get the rust behind?

You can't take off the 1/4 panels, they are welded on. They would have to be cut out.

damn, that sux, i already replaced the front ones

[FourthGenHatch]

What you can do is cut out the rust and take a metal front fender cut that and weld that in. The contours are supposed to be exactly the same.
