On a more serious note, buy a new shell. I don't understand why people bother with fucked cars in the first place. If you have rusted out rails and strut towers, it would cost you cheaper just to find another shell and transfer everything over.

My first s13 had a rusted out strut tower. I sold it after 3 weeks of owning it. I got quoted $1k to fix the rails (which is high. Ive seen other reputable shops charge from 500-700 years later). Then taking into account how much it would cost to fix my strut tower, it just makes more sense waiting for a clean roller to pop up for 1k and transfer everything over.

Will it help fix your quarter panels? No.

Everybody put your E-dicks away. Mine is huge and I don't feel like swinging it around now. I'm old and my back hurts when I do it.

Your choices are as follows:
1: Have another body shop give you a better quote for replacing the quarters.
2: Have a body shop piece together your fenders like a Nissan based monster of Dr. Frankenstein.
3: Throw on overfenders of some kind.
4: Buy a new chassis.
5: Keep it the way it is.

5 viable choices. You just have to choose. Notice none of those options involved this thread continuing on down a rabbit hole.

What answer are you looking for aside from the ones you've already received?

^fuc you beat me to it lmao. I bet he would want to pay you in beer. "Hey bro can you replace my quarter and paint my car? I'll give you some beer "

Puts 'fully built' suspension on clapped out S13:
Gets multiple answers on this thread to solve the problem:

silviaks2nr · 03-20-2017, 11:20 AM

hard part is fixing that inner wheel well to look like factory. Replacing the quarter is not bad but hours and hours of work.

nothing is even bolted up... and you have the car on jackstands in the dirt...............................

2,000 for a full 1/4 panel replacement is cheap. Labor rates on body work must be low in NY.
