So if there is pretty bad rust right at the wheel well on the rear passenger side of my car, How much would i be looking at to replace/fix that piece? And keep in mind its prrrrrrretty bad so i think i need to replace it, How much u think i could get the piece for at a wrecking yard or off someone here? ---

If you’re talking about the rear quarter panel … could be some bad news. Is it closer to the door or towards the trunk/hatch (behind the wheel)? The rear extensions can be cut out and rewelded in without too much hoopla. If you have a hole close to the door (like 3 inches back from the door seam, ahead of the rear tire where the arch starts) Bad news. 99.99999999% of 240s with rot there have already lost the frame. ---

Damn i wish i could post pix right now, won’t be able to until i get my digi cam but it should be xmas when that comes, it’s on the rear quarter panel i know that, so hard to explain where it is…It’s on the exterior of the wheel well near the back of it, i dunno if that helps at all either but really its all i can do without pictures…If no one can help now ill be sure to be posting pictures right after xmas time…I already know its going to be a serious problem with the rust issue there, but i wanted to get my car painted so this is gonna make me really mad when i get confirmation of the bad news :evil: ---

> [@D\_Fresh](#): > > yee, unless u wanna pitch out 900 bucks for a new rear quarter. Would it really be that much for one even if someone was completely parting out their car? Or even if i went down to a wrecking yard possibly, 900 dollars? damn… ---

Since your in chatham, there has been a guy recommended to me that lives just outside of chatham to do my body work. I work in windsor, and apparently this guy does alot of custom work in your area-mostly hot rod/muscle cars, but his work is highly regarded. I will PM you with details, I won’t be doing any work until the spring either, but I will be checking out his shop in the next month or so. ---

So since his question is answered, can someone help me out here… I have 2 spots of rust on my roof… one is 1 cm x 1 cm, and its only surface rust, like it’s under the paint (I’m not too worried about this because if its under the paint i’m hoping it won’t spread?), and the other is 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm but this one bubbled and there’s a hole in the middle of the bubble, so since it’s exposed now I’m scared that it will spread (should I be? or not?), how much would it cost to have a shop fix that spot and paint over it? ---
