either weld and cut new rear wheel arches in or ditch the ef and get a cleaner shell..
try the paint and body section

also post a pic so others can see and give there opinions on how to fix it

Find a junkyard that is a Fender Vendor retailer. You can get replacement quarter panels for any car through them.

This is the only way it should be done unless you can find another EF with clear rear quarters to cut them out of.

If I were to do it again I would just pick a easy color to paint and use bondo after cuttin the worst of it out...the amount of time I had in mine was way too much. Just paint it every 3-5 years it would be easier. Or save up and take it to someone that will do it and you can get them to do it over when it messes up.

This to help you out alittle if your goin to fix the rust make shorw that you or an good friend does it. Because on my lasted CRX I had rust on both sides like what you have and I pad $600.00 to get it fixxed... There was nothing but body feller on the hole thing =/. I was 16 at the time and Yes I learned alout form that CRX.
