4Runner Quarter Panel Rust
Alright so here's the dilemma...
I am the proud owner of an 89 4runner but she is having some serious rust issues on the back two quarter panels, just like every other 1st gen. I have the opportunity to pick up two rust-free quarter panels, but I don't know what to do next, Here are my two options...
1. Should I cut the old rust out and tack weld a cut-out of the new panels on the back?
2. Should I take the topper off and all the trim and take the entire rusty quarter panel off and replace it with the new one? (If so, how do you take the rear quarter off?? It looks like it's riveted in.)
Any other suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!!!
