[WE287GN]

I had a thread saved on a paint job or quarter repair. I really like it because the poster had a bunch of pics on the steps from the quarter replacment.

Anyone know the poster..Here is a pic I had saved..

this is the next best thing, kinda interesting to see the outer sheetmetal off, and where the cuts and seems are..
The original thread I had was better...man I have done a search over and over cant find it..but thats the car that was in it above , with the white quarter..

Here is why I am looking into this

This quarter has been repaired before..Only it was an overlay job, and the weld starts from th emiddle of the trunks side and works down towards where you see the filler missing under the quarter glass, some big warpage there..The other side is original , but very rotted...

EDIT: Upon closer inspection, that's not my brother's car.

But here's some links to his restoration. You can see where they repaired the quarter. It didn't need replaced, just repaired.
