My lower quarter panels are completely rotted. I would just cut and fold them if there was anything to fold! Obviously I have to cut out all of the rust, do I need to replace it with more sheet metal or could bondo do the job? It's at the point where you can look up from the outside and see the inner trunk insulation/carpeting. Pics to come.

You want to do it right or do it wrong? New metal needs to be put back where old is removed..

x2 very little bondo should ever be used... Only to straighten very slight waves. Never to fix and patch holes. It will pop

Outlaw Star

Bondo as in their filler or their fiberglass sheets?

OneWheelWonder

fiberglass is still a poor excuse of a fix. Use metal, do it right. Im just trying to save you money and future headaches, trust me.

Outlaw Star

Not me!, I was asking a question. Lol. I've done too much bodywork to know what can and can't be done where.

Alright. I'd like it to look clean, so I'm probably going to take it to a pro. I'm not nearly familiar enough with bodywork to tackle this.

OneWheelWonder

wasnt accusing you!! Ive done plenty of body work myself, i understand! Just looking out for the PO

If there is nothing to cut and fold possibly cut and weld some sheet metal in place to seal it off possible idea feel like trying to bring It back to the factory quarter panel look would be little bit more difficult

Fill er' up with great stuff, sand it flat, put some joint compound on it. Sand that smooth. Rattle can it. Done deal! Lmao I actually did that on my old 92 civic

Rocker panels are all rusted out on my focus.. Slapped a can of flex seal I had laying around on there and will weld something up in the spring
