Yep.. unfortunately.. my hunt so far has come up with the answer that.. you need to find the quarter panels off of a junker.. no OEM anywhere.
damn that blows.. well i dout ill find any junkers around me so i guess ill just reforum the bad parts out of sheet metal
actually.. I have found a couple, but they are complete cars here. And I was surprised to find 2 in the junkyards so far. going to check out one's panels right now.. everything else is pretty well gone on it... apparently they sell off fast.. lol.
man there are lots of shells available with much less rust. i'd be finding one. you'd better check the inner wheel well behind the seat trim while you are there.

No matter how many hours you put into that shell give it a year or so and the rust will break out again
If you can see it there's 10x more you can't see.....

I would never bother with one in that shape. Get a new chassis and reduce that to a parts car.
yeah, thats a bit more severe than mine. the only 2 spots I have rust are a dollar size rust spot on the fender (hoping to replace the full fender if it exists somewhere) and the rear quarter panel wheelwell... but those pics kinda show the rot I have. Sad thing is, I wont know the FULL extent until I rip it apart... but it doesnt look quite that severe.
If I had the cash, I would go very custom on your car... hard to rebuild it to stock, but not so hard to rebuild it to a funky flared style.

DAMN that's ugly. Think of a clean shell as a fresh start, keep it that way and yuo'll be happy longer than you would with the patch work you're doing. Though finding one, and maybe not having the money can interfere with that.
Good luck either way.

Ouch my rust was worse than that, nothing could be salvaged i had to buy another shell and start from scratch.I dont know what the inside of the car looks like but i guarantee by time you pull out the carpet and the sound deadening material you will see the real damage. Goodluck
the in side is actually not too bad ... the driver side is as bad as pass . im thinking it becase i drove the car for 2 year without the mud flap thru snow rain ect.

Mine doesnt see winter. I wont do that to it... lol. (plus those tires would suck on snow!) I do have brand new winter tires on the sawblades.. hmm.. maybe I should sell those.. as I will never use them...
Just curious.. what are you going to do about the inner wheel well? Thats the one that (to me) is going to be the most difficult to rebuild properly.
Granted... you dont have to make it purdy... but its in a difficult place to work.

Put that on the whole thing after you're done... should keep it from coming back.

That's a big project things like this make me glad to live in good ol dry ass ARIZONA I don't have to worry about those things. but it does suck having 122 degree weather.
