Quarter panels, let's cut em off and put new ones on.
I did this with my Duster (my first ever attempt at body work).
A few things I learned.
I really didn't need to replace the entire quarter panel. I really think I would have been better off cutting more manageable patch panels.
Be prepared for more rot underneath
A good spot weld cutter is invaluable
Getting the panel to fit good at the door jam will be your biggest challenge.
Rather than trying to butt the panels together get a flange tool and to flange the old sheet metal (where possible) so that the new panel can lay on it. I did one side of my car this way. I feel that it yielded a better result
Stich weld.... Weld hot enough that you dont bead up too much on top of the metal. This will save you when it comes time to clean up the seam.
