[Mk2] [Turbo] TRD Kit Install - Need advice/how to: Cutting/grinding existing rear qtr panels

Post by Bobby_Dazzler »

Hi All,

As the title would suggest, I am lookg for some advice on how to cut back and join my new rear quarter inner lip to the existing rear quarter panel. This is my first kit install, and so far things have gone reasonably well, although things do tend to take longer than expected. I am approaching the stage whereby I must cut a section out of my rear quarters to meet my TRD widebody kit rear quarters and seal up the space behind.

I am in need of some advice of how and where to cut the quarters, and how to fold the remaining sheet metal to meet the inner lip of the rear quarter to make a good seal. If anyone has any pics, or a step by step guide, I would be very grateful - I have half an idea of what I need to do, but i don't want to go cutting and grinding up my car and make a schoolboy error in the process, if it can be avoided...

Gracious thanks will be extended to any/all respondents...?!

Cheers

Cheers mate - just replied to the post.. I'd read that post some time ago before I'd started the build - makes more sense now after I've begun, though could do with seeing those pictures he mentions on that CD...

Cheers
