My 3door2002138gti is rusting around the drivers side rear quater.around the guel filler and the connected side sill...but the rest of the car is rust free...now i know its had a light crash on that quarter and the rust is associated with old filler being half the fault...
Now i want to restore this area the best i can as cheaply as possible and i know that will genetally mean refilling it but...what is the cost of a rear quarter panel and sill which i am thinkin of putting straight over the top of the old one...not the sill tho...this is how we repair/replace caravan panels one over the other glueing all over...so i would be intetedted in wot youse think and any ideas of prices for quarter and sill,....cheers...

Am I right in thinking that caravan panels are Aluminium so the oxidation of the underlying panel would not be as much of a problem? I wouldn't want a panel rusting away under a cover up panel on my car anyway...
Do you have a picture of this rust? It will help people give you the best advice

You can't just put a panel over the old one. Its a car not a caravan!

It will be cheaper to have the panel repaired rather than replaced. To replace the panel the old one needs removing and then the new one welded into place, joints filled and then resprayed.
Are they actual perforations or just surface rust? Surface rut will be easily repaired by a half decent bodyshop, something that seemed to be lacking on the previous repair.
If perforated, you could patch the affected area and have it looking as good as new. You used to be able to buy sections of a panel eg wheel arch but I don't know anyone who does them for a 206. A decent tin basher could probably cut the sections needed out of a new panel and piece them in, but the cost might not be worth it.

I'm sure a scrappy would allow somebody to cut a section from a rear quarter as they aren't normally things that sell.
