Ok, so when i bought this s14 the wheel well was already mishapen. it wasnt round like it should be, there was a sharp straight decline, I figured I could just get it reshaped to be round again. I guess not. I took it to a guy I know at a shop. He made it a little more round but there is still this straight angle on it. I told him I wasn't satisfied and he agreed to go back over it next weekend. SO what are my options if he can't fix it and get it to look like the other side. go widebody? or what? lemme know please!


oh and you can see a faint pen line i drew of how i think its supposed to be shaped

That's really odd. I'm not sure if its the angle of the picture, but it seems like the inner lip is sticking out. If you were to hammer it in a bit, it might make a difference.

yea how the hell did that happen? is the whole rear right of your car pushed in?

overfenders would help since you would be cutting shit out and covering the majority of the quarter panel.

yea hammer it in after u cut shit off for overs.
then order some side skirts.
and wheels coils to go along.

looks like a bad bondo job from the pic

im 95% percent sure he body filled and tried to make a wheel arch.
to cover watever wheel damaged.

lol

if you hammer it the filler might break.
try to sand it in that area that looks bent

[Chrischeezer]

that WHOLE quarter panel is rusted right through and they just sanded and bondo'ed everything to cover it up.

[ayuaddict]

if thats the case, cut and replace.

the quarter panel or the whole car, your choice.

Ok, so I said fuck it and took a hammer and started pounding it out. It does look like someone cut out rust and did a shit job bondo-ing it back together. the metal is kinda thin towards the bottom, I am going to sand the rest of the chipped bondo and paint down and redo it. and then WIDEBODY BABY! 40mm and new skirts and wheels and coilovers.

[airhead]

you can fix that with metal

remove all spot welds and re weld easy

if your picky and want to to to the widebody perfect it will take longer then putting metal quaters.

i learned the hardway this way.

now i regret i rather go metal next time.. but owell

getting the car abck to stock form isnt much to be excited about even if you get it fixed.

save up for some wheels.
