Default Rusty rear quarters.

I have a 1997 5spd station wagon. When the guy sold it he didn't take pictures of one side, which was rusty. Nevertheless I dragged it home because it ran. I don't regret anything but buying new snow tires for it.

I'd really like to keep it but in order to invest anymore money into it I would need to replace the rear quarter panels. My question is should I

1) salvage and replace the whole panels?
or
2) splice in the area around the wheel wells and behind door.

I have a few more things I need to check out before I do anything else with the car, like why the steering rack catches in the middle when moving the tires, and what has happened basically without any engine mounts.

Totally up to you on what you want to do, but I think splicing a rear section will be easier and more cost effective since a full quarter swap will require glass removal, aligning, and a lot more weld work.

I was having that same question ok my 94 accord. Jus below the gas door is a rather large rusty whole. What's the best remedy?
