Someone hit me AGAIN

Post by gto7419 »

So, in the 2 months that I have owned this legacy it has been hit THREE times.

This time, the guy destroyed the left rear tail light and literally tore the quarter panel as if it was a sardine can. Theres a good 2-3" rip near the light.

Is the rear quarter panel easily replaced or am I going to have to pull a shadetree and bang the skin close to its original shape and weld the hole closed?

Thanks,

Danny

The quarter panel is NOT easily replaced.

Well - I might as well fix a few of the rust spots while Im at it...

Im going to disconnect the battery, but should I also unplug the ecu?

wow, that sucks, i paid $2000CDN to get both fenders replaced at a shop they ordered BRAND NEW fenders from Subaru, they are OEM. Looks great, well it better for 2000 :D Involves lots of welding etc, heres some pics from when i was at the shop a long time ago, and pics after.
