Replacement Body Panels? (Searched)

Hey guys. I need a replacement panel for my driver's side rear 1/4 panel. Not the whole thing, mainly just around the wheel well. Does anyone know if they even sell these? In most body part catalogues all I can find is door-forward body parts.
Thanks

Rick

i dont think they sell a replacement part because that is part of the chassis. bondo, cutting off another car's rear quarter panel, or going widebody is the only solution that i can think of.

ummmmmm........they don't make them for our cars.......you can get overfenders but it's not a bolt on like the front....you can rivet them on or do body work to mold it in......are you looking for widebody rear ?

The dealer might still be able to get whole quarters but they would cost about $500 each(Thats what they were for my 323GTX). Salvage yard is your best bet, rent a 14" gas concrete saw with a metal cutting blade and cut off what you need. Actually cut off way more than you think you need. If you can't weld, find a friend or shop that can and have them put on. There is actually a lot less bondo work replacing a whole quarter, but there is a lot more time involved.
