AJRTDDI Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I was sanding down my car for respray for prep and I found this It was full of paper and bodyfiller, I can't afford a whole new rear quarter I have brought a new rear arch to weld in but the door jam part will be hard. Any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwt26 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I would do a bit of plate welding, get a mate who has a welder just to weld a bit of sheet metal on to that then sand it down so it's nice and smooth Hope this helps Thanks, Lewis Watson-Thompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJRTDDI Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 So no ideas about getting the right shape. How about fiberglassing? Sent from my HTC One X using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I would be making that sort of repair out of several bits of metal. Using card to make templates, Sellotape then together if you think you can get a bigger section out of one piece of metal. Rolling a small section of metal should be easy enough to match that I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
