Body/Trim: 850: - Quarter rear panel

slipkid · Jul 28th, 2012, 22:09

Is it possible to change the rear quarter panel on an Estate? Ive got a dented wheel arch and was wondering if it was cheaper to change the panel or repair the dent (both would require a respray). Any one got any knowledge or experience changing these?

Slipkid - you don't specify the car but I think you're in dent repair territory anyway - onmy 850 and early V70 bodyshells you're in structure back there - the bonnet, front wings, doors, tailgate you can indeed remove and replace, but the panel you want to change is a part of the welded structural bodyshell!

Thanks Nick, was worried that maybe the case. Yeah its an 850 T5. Oh well body shop job it is then, Grr. Think its going to cost a bit.
