Your an idiot. Should be a lesson well learned. The quarter panel has to be cut out.

It is one piece It is part of the uni body.

Might I also say that you were supposedly "drifting" on a "back road" yet a kid cuts right infornt of you. Yeah that is really safe and smart. I at least when I did that stuff found empty industrial parking lots in the middle of the night far from anything and was by myself.

Karma its a *****....good luck fixing that

Anyone who drifts knows you have to practice in open areas away from any potential hazards, a back road is just not a good place for beginners. As far as the quarter panel goes, i suggest taking it to the body shop and having it done right. Do not do a bondo patch job, its gonna look gay. Hopefully ur chassis is intact cause if not, then ur sc is pretty much a done deal.

its not a bolt in job, if you look long and hard at the quater panel you'll see its integrated with the SC roof. You have to cut it about partway up the rear pillar and remove it from there. I think there is more cutting required behind the body panel, but unless your a very experienced collision repair specialist then take it to the body shop. Depending on how fast you were going some suspension and even frame components might be damaged so its no easy driveway job

HAHAHAHA I just read your "Don't hate on the two tone" I am rolling on 4 tone right now. This weekend it should change. Oh and back to topic if you haven't done any body work before... this shouldn't be your first attempt. It's harder then what it looks.

yes i would do it away from everyone. if i do it, i find a big parking lot or space, in case i mess up my car will still be intact. besides that i REFUSE to drift anywhere else because my car is still stock and i suck still, lol.

Peace out

Replacing my quarter panel cost $3600.

Get it fixed then sell the car to someone who won't risk totaling it or even killing someone on a back road.

You sir are an idiot... dont ever practice drifting on populated roads... My best friends younger brother was hit and killed by a street racer Punk *** kid that thought he was cool and was "drifting"

I have absolutely no sympathy for you

i do body work for a living.. and your pretty much screwed, if your frame is bent or depending on how bad the damage is the repair cost would out weigh your cars worth... dont try and fix it yourself because 1 it will look like ***, 2 its not safe, your car might be bent and would be structurally unsound.


Hopefully you learned your lesson you idiot..

If the chassis is bent and he just fixes the quarter panel, would the car drive like it's drifting all the time?
