I had a new quarter panel after a scrape last year and I suggested this to the body shop and then told me I was stupid 😂.spooke said:I don't think you can get them, your best option is to find a breaker who's got a shell they'd cut up for you. Else they'll have to custom fabricate it...
Where about are you, how bad is it?This is going to turn out to be quite an expensive job . Can't see any other option though.

I am only in West Malling near Maidstone, my cousin has a paint shop in Folkestone if you'd like to take it there and get a price for it all done?I'm in Kent mate. It's not even that bad has a few bits of surface coming through.
Seen a few threads on here where people say if you sand down and paint over you will prob have to do it again in a year?

Cool mate as seems we are local (or local enough), as in my prev post not seen or had work done myself, seen finished items but not really that good at paint and seeing paint (whats good or bad) etc but worth a professional eye at least if you are not looking to spend £££'sThat would be awesome mate. Will pm you my number.

That's very cheap mate, where are they based? I am still waiting for my cousin to get back to me about Saturday.I got a quote from a classic car specialist to strip the arches back to the metal. They will then use a rust killer followed up with a stone chip then paint for £250 which is more like it as they are not exactly rotting to pieces.

I got quoted by one body shop £500 each side, that included new metal.subtronics said:I live in Leeds, but a local shop with a proper spary booth and oven have quoted me £600 to cut out the three spots of rust and weld in some fresh metal. Another place has offered £200 to patch it up, but that won't last long as I think it has already been patched up before.
Will last a year if that and you will see it coming back, only way to get rid of rust is to cut it out, sanding down and using rust killer is a temporary fix. A lot of bigger body shops can't be bothered with the work so it's an easy way for them to make a few quid on you. If you want to keep the car get them cut out and get the body shop who is doing it to take plenty of photos. I learnt the hard way with this type of thingCjhdc5 said:I got a quote from a classic car specialist to strip the arches back to the metal.
