Quarter panel replacement (FINISHED)

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

It now has a flat tire now due to my overzelous sawsall action. No, I'm gonna pass. I don't want to draw any attention from the police/city to what I do in my back yard. I don't have a title for this car so I don't know if it has any unwanted baggage like being a stolen car.

If I lived outside the city, you bet. I'd be spinning reverse donuts and some gravel drifting.

Scrapping it out.






Rocker panels

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

Are the 2 front wheel well liners any good?

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

Yeah, I have several of them. A few have there mounting holes ripped out but still work with a black washer.

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

are those rockers just tacked in? its been a while since i've seen my z but i seem to remember they were.
if you still have those rockers would you mind selling them? im in need of some, since i have a 1" hole in my passenger side rocker.

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

Well I got side tracked doing the 2+2 repair.




I sold the black 5/87 turbo and the red 86 turbo and a bunch of parts. I now have enough in my car fund to complete this project. I have been buying up parts from some of you guys and ordering through Z31parts and MSA. Here's some of the stuff.

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

You should do the same thing SCC (Sport Compact Car) did with a sentra. A fan asked what it would take to get their Sentra into the 14's as cheaply as possible or some shit. So they basically cut some random Sentra down to a seat,windshield and engine. They got it into the 14's too.

Funny shit here.

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

coming along nicely. Were all of those hole necessary on the passenger side to pull out the panel?

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

I don't know. There is no way to work from the other side with out cutting into the inside. I was on vacation while it was being done. The guy knows what he's doing, I've seen alot of his work.

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

i'm surprised he does not have a spot weld panel puller and uses the old cleco style puller.

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

I tried using one of the old style ones on my car, was a PITA.

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

The body guy is in his late 40's and is mute, I have to communicate with a pad and pencil. He can't hear or speak but body work is his life. I'm thinking he learned to do it this way and does what he knows. For the price of all the work I'm getting, I'm not complaining about how he does it. He also did the red 87T 2+2 and the Black 87T car I sold to ponchoz, you guys saw how those turned out.

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement

It's coming along, still have to cleanup the welds inside and paint the tool kit area. Hopfully be done by next week

Re: Quarter panel removal and replacement
