I need to replace a section of my quarter panel.


Is this SECTION the same for all chassis (coupe, sedan, hatch)

I found a sedan that I can have this part for $40 (including inner steel), and hatch panels are pretty easily found through sellers on ebay, but I have no idea if it will work.
I know that the bulk shape is different, but the guy says that just the part I need will fit fine.
Im looking for more opinions. It is hard for me to really see if its the same...

Again, NOT the whole rear quarter, just a section I outlined.
(Oh and yes, I gave plenty of room around the rusted out area)

Whoa, whoa. Calm down buddy. No one got mad at you. Simmer down.

 

2 door coupe only man my brother has a 4 door totaly different, and a hatch is way shorter ( I would think), what happend to your quarter panel anyway, detroit rust, it looks a little dimpled??

ps. I got blasted there last year by a jeep $2000 later by the best of the best in ny you will never notice the difference, doing your own body work

 

Yeah man, tell me aobut it.
...Maybe I just want to beleive the parts will work.
I really dont need all that much, maybe just a solid 6" - the wheel wells gotta be similar enough...
Its rusing from the inside out...the little bracket that holds the rear bumper is disintegrating...

Oh and no way would I be doing this myself. Id be taking the panel to a local body shop that I trust. They wanted tons to fab up a panel, and fiberglass and bondo are out of the question. With a part that fits, they said it would only be a few hundred

 

Hit the Junk Yard y0

 

nope. the coupe, hatch and sedan rear quarter panels are completely different

 

no junk yards here have anything younger than 95's and that is totally rare

i know the panels are different...what about just the sections?
Im gonna keep saying that until someone says 'sections are different'
