Missing a quarter off my quarter.

[jared420sx]

Long story short i was yung and retarded and cut my quarter a quarter inch to accomodate ghetto rigged ebay coil height on oem suspension.
Now my taste has matured and i realized how royaly i fucked up bc stock body is the best body imo.
Wwyd?
I had one person tell me they would have to redo the whole fender for 2grand. Lol! I was thinking about possibly welding it up or something? Idk. Body work is not my strong suit. My friend does paint and detailing so not worried about that. just curious as to getting it look decent again.
And the other side is untouched. Cut the other side? Be a 1/4in lower on one side than the other? Lmao.

It does. I still need body work gurus opinions. The ebay coils i ghetto rigged are already in the diw thread if u wana see them.

[KAT-PWR]

You already got a body "gurus" opinion.... pay the money or get overs.....

Whats your beef kat pwr. And the quote i got was to rearch the whole fender and a whole lot of bull shit. I have overs i just cant bring myself to do it. My quarters are mint otherwise.

[racepar1]

He's right though. The only two options are either overfenders, or replace the quarter panel (or section one) completely. Trying to patch something on it would just end up looking janky in the end.

[fatduece]

Why in the world would you pay 2k to fix body work on a Schassis and what if the work ends up being jank? A lot of times replaced quarters will rust from the inside because of improper welding and prep. You're far better of just spending some time to find a clean car and then swapping all the parts over. Then you can sell your aids infested chassis to the next fuckboi.

[jared420sx]

AHAHAHAHAHA you guys havent even seen my frame rails

[Jtuned_andy]

I am a professional bodyman, youre fucked

[jared420sx]

I am a professional bodyman, youre fucked
thank you! Finally someone with credentials. we're getting to the point here!
AHAHAHA

[JM216S14]

I think you have the skills to replace them. Find a donor car cut the quarters off and give itnhell.

[fatduece]

^Thats a waste of time and money. Op just drive your car until it falls apart. In the mean time keep a eye out for a good shell.

i hope youre kidding.

[racepar1]

Why is replacing a quarter panel so scary to everyone? It's really not that big of a deal. If the rest of the chasis is clean it's 100% worth it. Finding a clean car/shell is nearly impossible...

[5280VertDET]

If the dude on BisForBuild can do it on a mustang anyone can.

^this!

First off, way to go ruining your quarter panel you dipshit :picardfp:

For real though, replace the quarter panel. The "pro body guy" suggesting a re-shell is an idiot, unless the chassis is fucked elsewhere. I hate when people say that shit, "just get a new shell," like wtf are we talking about? You mean ditch the car you own, it will end up being crushed, and then find a new car?! Easier said than done.

I'm certified in collision repair and have worked in the industry, replacing a qp isn't THAT big of a deal, good luck dude :hs:

[fatduece]

Don't listen to these fellers. They just want you to continue spending money on a beat shell. A clean start will go a long way.

[jared420sx]

Thanks for all the responses zilvia fam. ^
I might just clean it up and deal with it for a little while i figure out what to do.
My rails are fucked and my tower is fucked aswell. Might just wait to hit a wall and than change it or put overs on. I got some origin takakdishi w.e. They called lol
Just afraid they wont look that clean with the aero i might go with

Im from monticello

[crzsteveo]

yeah with the sticker dapper, you should just sell it and get a VW or ford focus....

but to answer yo question, just go rear overs dude....just be like every other broke dick 240 bro and buy ebay 30mm rear overs and your good to go. if your doing aero rear overs will work.

[bataangpinoy]

Im from monticello

This explains everything. Only nice thing about Monticello is the motor club.
You can't just weld that shit up and expect it to look like factory.

Options listed in order of practicality.

1) New shell

2) Full panel over fender replacement. A pro can mold them on to look close to factory. That's even too much work than its worth.

3) ZG style fender flares. Not a subtle as a full panel over fender, but probably easier to work with if you're not familiar with fiberglass work.

4) Section in a new rear arch from a parts car

5) Full OE metal QP replacement.

[jared420sx]

this explains everything.

hahahahaha

[Krusty_s13]

Wait. Why in the hell would you cut your quarter panels like that to accommodate for shit coilovers? It makes no sense, at ALL.

If your frame rails are as fucked as you say they are, then put your big boy pants on and slap some overfenders on it. Its a 20+ year old nissan, who gives a shit.

Try them. They're local.

On a more serious note, buy a new shell. I don't understand why people bother with fucked cars in the first place. If you have rusted out rails and strut towers, it would cost you cheaper just to find another shell and transfer everything over.

My first s13 had a rusted out strut tower. I sold it after 3 weeks of owning it. I got quoted $1k to fix the rails (which is high. Ive seen other reputable shops charge from 500-700 years later). Then taking into account how much it would cost to fix my strut tower, it just makes more sense waiting for a clean roller to pop up for 1k and transfer everything over.

[Standard]

Yeah, good call, new shell is in order, so you can transfer over your shitty suspension and dapper sticker lol

Yea my fully built suspension you retard. Take a look at the pics again :dead::mrmeph:

[bataangpinoy]

fully built? as opposed to half built?

[jared420sx]

^Yerp. I can give you a mod list and detailed pics if ya want :)

[deolio]

probably quoted you so high because they didn't want to deal with a fuckhead who would do something like that

[ThatGuy]

Will it help fix your quarter panels? No.

Everybody put your E-dicks away. Mine is huge and I don't feel like swinging it around now. I'm old and my back hurts when I do it.

Your choices are as follows:
1: Have another body shop give you a better quote for replacing the quarters.
2: Have a body shop piece together your fenders like a Nissan based monster of Dr. Frankenstein.
3: Throw on overfenders of some kind.
4: Buy a new chassis.
5: Keep it the way it is.

5 viable choices. You just have to choose. Notice none of those options involved this thread continuing on down a rabbit hole.

What answer are you looking for aside from the ones you've already received?

the one where someone offers to hold his hand and fix it for free

[crzsteveo]

^fuc you beat me to it lmao. I bet he would want to pay you in beer. "Hey bro can you replace my quarter and paint my car? I'll give you some beer "

[driftsucky]

broadway static is pretty legit in the bimmer community. Didn't even know they made s-chassis suspension. cool beans.

Puts 'fully built' suspension on clapped out S13:

hard part is fixing that inner wheel well to look like factory. Replacing the quarter is not bad but hours and hours of work.

nothing is even bolted up... and you have the car on jackstands in the dirt...............................

[Ratpack_Chad]

2,000 for a full 1/4 panel replacement is cheap. Labor rates on body work must be low in NY.

[1988montecarloss]

probably quoted you so high because they didn't want to deal with a fuckhead who would do something like that

best answer, besides that reshell the good parts you have
