Default solution for rusted quarters...

I have been wanting to fix the rust on the quarters of my street hatch (beater)
but the only solutions that I have found so far are: buy complete new rear quarter panels, and have them welded on, or have some custom build up done to "re-make" the rusted part.

the 1st is super expensive, and the second is kind of a "bandaid" fix IMO.

So I stumbled across these online. they allow you to section out/in as much or as little as you want, to replace the rusty portions. And the best part is that they are cheap.
BOTH sides cost me $60 shipped.



you can get them from http://www.rustrepair.com, you have to dig a bit on their site to find them, but its worth it.

hope this helps some of you hatch owners that hate rust!

perfect! I just talked to my friends boss who does body work and he said he'll take care of the rust on both sides, fix a couple spot on my hood, fix all the dings in my roof, and fix all the deep scratches in my rear bumper for 400 no paint if I find the sides like those or 500 no paint if he had to make custom one out of sheet metal. I'm deffinately going to get me a pair from there. Thanks for the link.

edit:
I just tried finding some on that site and couldn't. Am I looking in the wrong place or something. I need them for a 92-95 hatch as well.

Anyways, I cant seem to find them on the site anymore either.

But I know that they have them. You may have to just call them.

probably not cheap, but cheaper than putting on FULL rear quarters. Those stock quarters alone cost BIG bank.

Or, you could get a grinder, grind off all the rust and all around the rust, weld in steel, then fiberglass over. Its that easy. Everyone makes way to big of a deal out of a little bit of rust.

EDIT: Not that those quarter panels aren't a good idea, but people seem to make way to big of a deal out of a little bit of rust.

I had most of the lip gone under the quarter panel on mine. It looked like just a little but it ended up cutting back really far :
