there was one for sale on fleabay last week i fink have a look through endid listings dont no weather it sold or not came across it wile looking for rear corter pan for my cortina

[samurai]

I saw one but it had abit missing where the rear part of the sill is.

what u done to yours then?

[samurai]

When i got the car it looks like it had been replace before with a crap one.behide the door handle there is a big dent which has been pulled out and a skim of fuller and the fit was not 100 percent and god knows whats behide that rear window seal and it had a repaired wheel arch and repaired lower corner and the rain run off corner near the rear window has a patch.

 

1 1/4 panel will fix all of it

 

And tomorrow im buying a rear panel, the one on there now which was eaten by rust around the rear light which made the 1/4 panel cave inwards and the lowest part of the panel well is just bent with lumps and bumps and a hole where the chassises are like any other escort.

 

It does not sounds as bad as it is

i put 2 rear quarters on my escort,not a bad job to do. Better than patching it up

Where did you get the 1/4s from? Where they proper ford ones?

 

Im looking at 160 pounds for a proper ford back panel,you think i can get it cheaper?

 

I see that expressed panels are selling for about 250 pounds!

i got them from "goldendays" john blyth. I paid £800 for both of them,genuine ford. I had to have them shot blast as they had very slight surface rust on them,but it was better than opening the boot & seeing the mess that was there. that was about 8 years ago though,i reckon you might struggle to find nos quarters cheaper than 4-500 each?? i might be wrong of course

[samurai]

Expressed is selling them at about 650 pounds eash

 

I was thinking of 600 pounds for fords ones.

 

Ill ring around tomorrow and see.

 

Thanks

[LEONMEX]

if you need any advice or want to know how i done mine drop me a p.m.,will help where i can

[samurai]

Will do.

 

How long did it take to take off the 1/4 and fit the new one?

 

Thanks mate

took a while drilling out all the spot welds & making good the old panel underneath,but a good couple of weekends should see it all done & dusted
