Easy To Fix? Quarter Panel Damage On R33.

Just wondering if it'd be worth buying it and fixing it up?

Those quarter panels don't look amazingly easy to take off...

Id buy that as a car to strip personally...

unless you can do all the cutting and welding yourself it wont be worth it...

there was a thread on here about a build where an SAUer did exactly that and did progress photos along with it...

I had a 1/4 far worse than that repaired on a 180SX a few years back...found some guy that was prepared to give it a crack when everyone else was telling me $4k-$5k to unpick the damaged one and replace...

A good Panel Beater will get that looking sweet, they can get excellent access from inside with the interior trim off, will require some filler no doubt but nothing wrong with that if its prepared properly.

Yeah I bought my skyline that looks exactly like that one with far worse damage (see pics),the underside of the panel overlooking the wheel was even drilled and pushed back.

Even though I havn't fixed it yet Ive got another rear quarter panel I picked up for $100 ready to be put on,Ive got the necessary areas stripped as well, (rear seat,boot lining,left rear tailight,rear bumper) to make the panel beater's job a little easier.

Anyways I'll be going around to get some quotes in the next couple of days regarding the job,will keep you posted
