The rearmost portion of the drivers side quarter panel was replaced with a resulting poor lap weld complete with pop rivets as part of the "repair". The blue is the paint color of the repair panel. This beauty also needs a new trunk floor, I am thinking to open it up and maybe get a good look, also remove the patched in quarter panel and make the proper connections. I was hoping this was going to be a simple fix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

Seen that one before. Best remove the botched outer panel and start with repairing the structural part of the car. You can do it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

This is a good reminder why a pre-purchase inspection is a good thing. Hope you went into this one knowing where you're at before taking on the project.

PPI is always a good thing. I came across this one from a former enthusiast who came down with dementia. Last registered in 1990 New York, overall she is solid and I couldn't pass it up for $700. got a bunch of 911 parts with the sale. There are a couple "minor areas of rust" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) if there is such a thing |
