Rear wheel well

[Chris86.5]

k so i got a little rust hole.

this is the passenger side rear wheel well, now is there a way where i could get a new wheel well piece. or do i just have to suck it up and cut it out and weld it back up

You poor bastard. You can see the same thing in my build thread...gaping holes like that on either side. At last check there was one inner well left in north america, I got the remaining outer wells for my car. Best way to go would be to get someone in the southern rust free states with a parts car to cut a portion of the wheel well off their car for you. I suppose you could just patch it as well. Feel around underneath, there may be more holes than you think...like near the top of the shock.

edit...and I just saw that you are in leduc....which explains the rust hole.

well i have the whole car gutted pretty much, and luckily thats the only hole i found.

i got this car in 2004 from a guy in lethbridge and i stored it somewhere pretty safe. and im glad that there is minimal rust under the body.


would it be a good idea to patch it tho??

Basically do anything that will make the hole go away...

Driving my car in the rain resulted in an incredible amount of water being drawn in to the space between the rear quarter panel and the frame (where the antenna sits) as well as somehow managing to flood the side frame rails...

here was my damage:

Best bet is to just cut out and patch. Rust is terrible on these cars for some reason.
Check out my stuff. There is more in the wheel well but this is all i have pics of.

You can see in the second pic i attempted to fix it and it seems to be working ok. On the spare tire compartment i just used fiberglass.
