I was afraid I'd get alot of these anwers.
I figured it'd be useless to fix w/o getting a whole new rear quarter, which I remember bein priced near $1000.

Yea, the pics are mirrored (shitty $400 cell phone)
There's really only rust in the rear quarters, and its not that bad on either side.

You guys really think it's useless though?
I was thinkin, if I decide it's not worth it, to just keep it as a beater and invest in a new body.....

Agreed.
Bascially any professional body work will exceed the value of an EF, even the small stuff

Thanks for the advice guys

500-1500 depends on where you go, it's pretty much done for in the eyes of the adjuster

tear out the interior panel and rubber mallet it, sand down the whole rear quarter, and bondo it. The more you do yourself the cheaper it will be.

I would fill in the scratch with touch-up paint, and just rock that thing as is.
It's not that bad at all.

Yes, do it yourself. You can make it decently smooth even without the metal working skills of a good body man.

But yes, because its a rear quarter they would charge you out the **** for fixing it professionally.
