Default Right Rear Quater Fix

I bought my 99 3.8 in Jan. I have been fixing items here and there. My next project is to fix the right rear quarter. Someone must have backed into or got hit but there is a puncture in the quater where the molding is suppose to be. The junk yard wants to sell me the whole fender but I don't want to pay that. Does anyone have a fender that might be damaged in another section but good where i would need it? Is there another good repair method.

How big is the puncture? It's pretty easy to MIG weld the hole shut and smooth it out.

ouch... id defiantly get a whole fender, the little step in the lip is going to be hard to reproduce. plus you need both sides of the wheel.

I will start looking for a fender then. I think I can get one for about $300.

What did I do wrong when I added the pic? I have them on flicker. What is the better way?

For the url, you want to have an [IMG] before http, and [/IMG] after jpg.
For whatever reason, the picture elements showed the link had <img src=" at the very beginning, before the http, and http://" alt="" border="0"> after the jpg at the end. Delete those extra codes and add the IMG code front & back and then it displays.
I haven't messed with flickr. See if they have an IMG code you can copy & paste.
