this was the damage
#4: Re: Progress on the repair Author: alexthekid, Location: Dewsbury Nr leedsPosted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 10:34 am ---- no the panels have been taken off and the dent knocked out.
#5: Re: Progress on the repair Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 10:36 am ---- You mean the inside panel then as you wouldnt be able to a rear quarter off and re fit like that with out buying a brand new one.
Still there is a lot of filler there....
#6: Re: Progress on the repair Author: kieron, Location: in the housePosted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 10:40 am ---- even tho they maybe a thin layer of filler is quite a mass area and with time it could crack and i think you may be able to see it?
#7: Re: Progress on the repair Author: alexthekid, Location: Dewsbury Nr leedsPosted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 10:41 am ---- Yeah I mean the door cards and stuff then knocked out . Is the filler a problem
Ps pissin on my chips I was pretty happy
#8: Re: Progress on the repair Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 10:42 am ---- Well with that much filler it will crack and start to sag over time as it takes in water.
#9: Re: Progress on the repair Author: alexthekid, Location: Dewsbury Nr leedsPosted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 10:47 am ---- Ok well its a garage doing it not me. So I kinda trusted them
#10: Re: Progress on the repair Author: davieboy86, Location: Kent,Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 11:02 am ---- Whenever u watch wrecks to riches usa or the show with the old pimp my ride team ( weat coast customs) or the one with edd china on discovery they nigh on cover the whole car in filler and sand it all back down, is that not the norm? I always assumed that was how it was done.

#12: Re: Progress on the repair Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 11:18 am ---- TBH that looks like quite a good job. If it's only a thin layer of filler it's unlikely to take in enough water to make it sag... that's what paint and laquer are for.
I'd be interested to know how anyone criticising it would get that damage smoothed without using a lot of filler

Quite simple put a new panel on it....
#14: Re: Progress on the repair Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 11:23 am ---- Why the hell would you go to all the hassle and cost of putting a whole new rear quarter on it when you can do a perfectly adequate and long lasting repair for less than half the cost??

wouldnt put a new panel on it, you'd write it off with that damage if you didnt do it this way. new panel is too much hastle and too costly
