[QUOTE="cobra186, post: 8497487, member: 6221"] If the only spot of rust is on that small section of the lower qtr. panel then I would never replace the skin all the way to the door. The car will always look like it was a wreck. Very few people ever truly get the door jamb area factory correct. I would just cut out the panel a few inches bigger than the rusted section and then weld in a replacement panel for that area. I would bet since its rusted above the bumper cover like that then there will be a bigger mess behind the cover. IF you have the car media blasted, you best make damn sure the shop doing it knows what they are doing & use the correct media. The wrong technique or materials and you will have a cobra with every body panel warped from being overheated. The body shop that I use could section that rusted area, do the body work to have it paint ready for around $500 labor plus a couple hundred from a salvage yard for the qtr. panel section. [/QUOTE]
