How much does it cost to fix a skyline r33GTST rear 1/4 panel. I already have the 1/4 panel and how much does it cost to take the old 1/4 panel and replace it with the new one?

I could point you in the right direction depending on your whereabouts....

It shouldn't be too much, I was in an accident last week and had damage to my rear quarter, i'm assuming the panel needs painting so should only be a couple of hundred if you go to the right place. Also, my panel beater recommended to paint the door and front guard so it will all match nicely 100%, and my cars black!?? So if you're really particular they may recommend you do the same.

I live in (Melb) Preston so where is a good panel beater place and price?

couple of hundred? yeah for paint alone.

old one needs to be cut out...

which means the inside of the boot trim needs to be stripped right back.

depending on how far back or forward the damage is the rear bar will need to be removed or the inside of the door jam needs to be stripped back so u can spot weld the new panel back in... like i said thats if the damage is that area etc

panel will need to be welded on... they'll then have to use body filler to smooth over the weld edges... coated... primed... puttied... rubbed back. and if u want the paint blended thru the doors and up into the roof thats even more.... u get the idea? its not a small job but its also not a big job but if u think u can get all that done for $200 ur dreaming.

I understand that, my car is undergoing the same thing but it comes in handy when you know someone in the trade. I know if you went to any panel beater they would be asking a lot more, but i'm going by my quote and i'm sure this person and his company would look after others as well and give them a good deal. Not only is he highly experienced and professional, he's been in the industry for decades and repaired many skylines. I should have stated i knew the guy thus the price is not entirely accurate, but yes i did get a job exactly as you described for around that price mark.

aaah yes... the almighty difference between giving someone an accurate guage of what they should be expecting and a fanciful one.

i used to be a panel beater and theres no way id do that job for 200 for someone i didnt know... if your friend would do work like this including paint for that price hes a good man.

Amex autobody are extremly good.
