Rear Quarter Panel Replacement question Jun 30, 2016 9:53:49 GMT

Hi,

I recently went to Le Mans, strongly advise you go if you ever get the chance however, the trip was full of drama shall we say.

60 miles into France my mate decided to stop his GTR by using my mk1 as a brake and in doing so has trashed the rear panel, nearside light, crash bar, bumper and has creased the rear nearside quarter panel above the arch.

(Excuse the coca cola light, didn't have a lot of resources...) (And if someone could tell me how to get the pics to show rather than just the links that would be great, lol).

So I've sourced everything bar the quarter panel... My question is:

Could I cut a quarter panel out of mk1 destined for the scrap heap and weld it in or am I better off buying a new wing and welding the whole thing in or cutting a section out and welding that in?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Crease above the wheel arch doesn't show up that well in the pics and the end of the wing under the lights can only be described as much, lol
