Ouch! How bad of a fix will this be??
My little fifth gen got t-boned just as I was starting to put pieces into her Some are telling me it's an "easy fix" but no one seems to want to buy it so what gives??

Re: Ouch! How bad of a fix will this be??
I'm not body expert by any stretch, but that looks pretty bad. The problem is that the panel is not just bolt-on/bolt-off, that panel (quarter panel) is part of the unibody and will need to be cut out and re-welded. If you really love your car, have it fixed and have the whole car painted. It's going to be expensive though. Sorry.

That is by no means and easy fix. B pillar is pushed in a bit. It will come down to money more so I guess. order in a new quarter panel and weld that in. I guess its "easier" than trying to repair it. Nice to see you browsing through again Agtronic. Hope all is well with you

Thanks for the responses, I had a few people almost buy it from me but then back out for one reason or another (like the battery not holding a charge after sitting for 2 years are you kidding me??). but anyways, I stripped it and sent the body to scrap metal - broke my heart.

Wow can't believe you scrapped that car... It was actually not as horrid as others said. Yes you needed a quarter panel but this could had been a really good learning project.
****, I wish i had seen this thread before, I would had given you a few hundred for the hatch.
