   unless you can weld without distortion and you can panel beat fill & paint then don't bother because you will fuck it up.
   
   only buy rear quarters from main dealers as spurious panels are not worth the hassle and never fit without a vast amount of messing about. They also rust quicker too.
   
   my advise take it to a body shop.

   +1 buy the rear 1/4 from a main dealer because to add to this other suppliers sell panels which are copies of the original so aren`t always as good a fit as the original.

   agreed on both, take my advice take it to a body shop and get a genuine 1/4 fitted, we used to bugger about with after market panels and never again!!! how bad is the 1/4 as a lot of bodyshops nowadays aren't too interested in such jobs, sure it won't pull with a dozer?
