I have been wanting to fix the rust on the quarters of my street hatch (beater)
but the only solutions that I have found so far are: buy complete new rear quarter panels, and have them welded on, or have some custom build up done to "re-make" the rusted part.

the 1st is super expensive, and the second is kind of a "bandaid" fix IMO.

So I stumbled across these online. they allow you to section out/in as much or as little as you want, to replace the rusty portions. And the best part is that they are cheap.
BOTH sides cost me $60 shipped.



you can get them from http://www.rustrepair.com, you have to dig a bit on their site to find them, but its worth it.

hope this helps some of you hatch owners that hate rust!

 

your post makes no sence...but cool parts....I'm sure someone will find it usefull.....

 

perfect! I just talked to my friends boss who does body work and he said he'll take care of the rust on both sides, fix a couple spot on my hood, fix all the dings in my roof, and fix all the deep scratches in my rear bumper for 400 no paint if I find the sides like those or 500 no paint if he had to make custom one out of sheet metal. I'm deffinately going to get me a pair from there. Thanks for the link.

edit:
I just tried finding some on that site and couldn't. Am I looking in the wrong place or something. I need them for a 92-95 hatch as well.

 

what doesnt make sense?


Anyways, I cant seem to find them on the site anymore either.

But I know that they have them. You may have to just call them.

 

ok, I'll have to call them when I get back from vacation. Thanks Again.

 

lol....makes sense to me....how much would it cost to have that panel cut, replaced and painted though....it sounds like it would be $$

 

probably not cheap, but cheaper than putting on FULL rear quarters. Those stock quarters alone cost BIG bank.

 

Thats a good find.

Thanks.

 

welll.... to that then

 

Or, you could get a grinder, grind off all the rust and all around the rust, weld in steel, then fiberglass over. Its that easy. Everyone makes way to big of a deal out of a little bit of rust.

EDIT: Not that those quarter panels aren't a good idea, but people seem to make way to big of a deal out of a little bit of rust.

you should see the rust Im dealing with....

 

I had most of the lip gone under the quarter panel on mine. It looked like just a little but it ended up cutting back really far :
