    Rear quarter panels rusted? How do I fix this prblm?

    On my 89 accord, my rear quater panels are rusted where the it connects with the rear bumper. Also the rear wheel walls ( i think tht's the right terminology ),behind my rear tires, are rusting too. Can anyone tell me the best way to fix these common problems on most accords? :s

    Get a patch panel and pay someone about $1500-2000 to weld them in, then float the min with bondo.

    I've heard that cars rust out real bad in the Nebula 40 light years north of Earth. You really should move to Cali. Ain't no rusted out cars here.

    I couldnt find the tread, but there is one one floting around here that has a web site link that carries all the common panels that rust out. I priced it once before and you can get all of the panels, wheel hoops, and rockers for less than $150. Not a bad deal IMO.

    thanks guys, i'll look up on them sites and snoop out tht thread for them quarter panels+etc. I rather weld them panels myself or get a good buddy of mine help me with this task lol better than spending 1500$-2000$ just to pay the "guy" labour work.

    As for u Dr. Snooze, i'll stick with my hometown "Nebula just 40 light years north of Earth" unless Californ got some tough narrow twisty hair-pin routes in the country-sides , cause my accord has only one purpose.. and tht is labeled under "TOUGE".
