Hard to do? Expensive? (Im talking about getting a bodyshop to do it for me)
Just thinking about getting the bodywork on my car 100% & the rear 3/4 are a bit tatty
I know the front wings are dead easy but the rear ones are welded in....

Yup well expensive, had to have mine replaced on my GSI, if ya get a slight bump in this area its normally a write off cos to cut out the panel weld in new etc etc it cost a fortune. budget for £750/£800 at least

Yeah cause if u think, the old one has to be ground off,then a new one welded on, joined down the post ground back filled smoothed flatted,then painted

wen u mean fill it does it matter that the rear quater isnt perfect i.e i have sum areas where the bodywork has been pushed in and other areas in panel where it has been pushed down and out.

Nope but I want it to be rust free 
I'll take pics later but on one side its rusted a fair bit.
Just been looking on the sel imperial website & I might actually be able to get away with replacing the wheel arch instead & a bit of plating
