So after an afternoon going over mi project mini, i've founf out that my rear quarter just under the opening window is full of the dreaded filler.
Should i just cut out and replace a section or should to be safe replace the hole rear quarter?

Personally looking at the picture you will end up fabricating a full length repair section from the return down to the just past the swage line.

I bet the waist rail is rusty as well. So I would bite the bullet and replace the whole panel.

Thanks sonikk thought that would be the outcome, took some more layers back and its worse thank the first picture

I can see rust around the arch as well so defo change the whole thing. Expect to see some issues with the inner arch as well.

Thanks you're a big help, the inner arches are completely shot do had already planned on replacing them.

You will more than likely need the inner arch front close out panel as well. Very common for them to rot out as well.

cheers for the guidance close out panel was already on my list of things to get as my inner sills have rotted away in the companion bins so thought it would be best to replace the lot. whilst im at it

Well if you need any pictures etc of what's what and how it all goes together then have a look at my signature and click on Project Paddy.

Done all of that and a lot more.
