My wife informed me that a sizeable chunk fell off the left rear of her car (in sig) and I wondered whats involved?

Like, from rust, or what?

Yes Rust is really bad on the drivers side rear. Pass side is fin oddly. I'm not sure how to fix this. I've replaced front 1/4'* before, patched holes, done some bondo, & even painted before but this looks like a new panel(*) would be the best solution. I saw how bad it was when I took the rear tire off, so much came off I was in a rust blizzard. I'll try to get a pic or two of how bad it is later.

I might have a friend willing to do it if you can get a patch that will conver it. You might need someone to do the finish work (bondo and paint) but he could weld in the new panel. Any chance you can get a picture of the area for me to show him by tomorrow when i go pick up my door? He is in rochester, so the car would need to come out here to get it done. If you have a picture, I can see if I can get an estimate. He is working on a 78 280ZX right now that he is doing all the body work on. He'* not a profrssionally trained welder, but he is pretty good, and just did some quarter panels for another friend.

Let me know.
