Anyone know where to buy autobody repair panels? I don't mean whole panels such as quarters or thinks like that, but more along to lines of small preformed sheet metal pieces made to repair common rusting areas on cars.... I need the rear quarter/wheel arch piece for a civic......

Arched pieces can be found at Canadian tire. They bend and form to the shape of your fender. Regular sheet metal can be found almost anywhere, including Home Depot.

Yes, but they actually premanufacture pieces that are made to patch areas like the rocker edges on a truck, or a wheel arch on a chev, etc....You cut out around the rusted part, cut the premade piece down to whatever size you need, and then tack it and weld it in... The canadian tire ones are bondo arches, you can't weld shit with them....

They must make these, cause not everyone will replace the entire quarter panel on a civic for a small rust hole where the bumper meets the quarter....especially cause thats where they all rust....

Cross Canada makes the arches... however, they only make the outer 1/4 part... not the wheelwell housing.. which is usually rusted out as well.. you can get these though honda though if they still make them for your year....
