Rear fender replacement

Hey guys, my rear fenders are pretty eaten up with rust and covered in crappy bondo work, should i try to replace them with metal or just re-do the bondo, there doesnt seem to be a seam on the rear quarter, so what should i do?

you can't replace them... it's a unibody. well.. you could cut themout of another car and weld them in, but what's the point of that? Just get a new shell.

Don't get a new shell. If you take the time, they are fixable. But I would say this car is perfect for a widebody kit. The widebody kit comes with new rear fenders, so your rust problem is solved. Actually, you could just order the rear fender and get some wider rear wheels, and you would have a pretty good looking car too. But thats just what I would do.

I have to agree with 85rotarypower, then you can cut the rust out and not worry about over bondo.
