Richie-Van-GTi 74 2 Cars Posted January 3, 2007 Has anyone done a quarter panel replacement? hoping for a few pointers as I know its gonna be tricky. Need to do my drivers side as its totally gone at the bottom near the sill, thankfully sill looks to be intact and serviceable. Problem I have is previous owner has filled the inner quarter with spray foam for some unknown reason, wondered how far into the inner arch the quartter goes or is it outside panel only? Dreading removing the foam and finding innert arch is shot. As you can see, bit of a mess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,675 Posted January 3, 2007 the repair panel is only the outer skin so it would be pretty straightforward to replace. I'm sure theres one on ebay now or was one recently, that'd give you an idea of the dimensions and where it joins up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dreading removing the foam and finding innert arch is shot. As you can see, bit of a mess I'm having the bottom of my RQP replaced right now by a bodywork guy. He is basically removing up to fresh metal then my understanding is he is going to replace up to the natural line with the trim about 12 inches up from Sill. Also replacing outer sills in entirity all for £150 a side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axnutty 10 Posted January 5, 2007 Wheres the work being done, does that include paint and parts? Is that a special price as he's a mate or is that price to anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a place in Kidsgrove and all he does is bodywork. The price is going to work out at about £450 mark in total as he is providing the parts, doing the bodywork and prepping for spraying. Also includes coating sills with Peugeot Stonechip and waxoil the inside of the sills. The car will then be passed ready to spray to someone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
