I'm having body work done on my 1992 Honda Prelude and the rust is so bad around the two rear wheel wells. I can either get the body work done (expensive) or find used quarter panels.

Specifically, 2 & 6 in the diagram at this site (http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...y5=OUTER+PANEL)

The ones on that site are new and around $900 for both including shipping and handling.

I'd like to find used quarter panels. Has anyone come across any people selling parts (rear quarter panels) off 1992 - 1996 prelude on the Internet or anywhere else? Any help would be greatly appreciated, if you want just post some links.

 

you aren't going to get them cheap, i can guarentee you that, i had someone ask me for the ones on my parts car, and there is about 150 welds just around the door

that isn't including whats around the wheels, rear windshield, bumper, wheel well and rockers

i'd honestly get it done at the body shop, since you're also going to have to pay them alot of money to put them back on, and paint it too

i have 2 in pretty decent shape in Tampa if you want them for not alot of money...

 

It will be cheaper to just find a clean body and go from there.....I dont know what you have all done to your car but I almost sure any swap is going to be cheaper than a quality cut, weld, sand, bondo, sand, bondo, sand, primer....blah blah blah

There really is no permanent solution once your car has began to rust. I just flew to AZ to get a PERFECT 92 4ws and had to drive it back to the icey WI beause I cant find a rust free prelude around here and quality body/rust work is too expensive and hard to find. Thats my permenent solution and my $.02 to you! Good Luck!!!
