Rear 3/4 or wheel arch repair panels- steel not fibreglass

[DavidL]

I'm either going to need some proper fabrication for these or has anyone found any premade parts? Clubautosport do exactly what I need but its in fibreglass and the porsche pet showing the whole rear wing is now NLA.
Anyone found anything?
Thanks

Hi David

These people do the lower rear quarter section as shown here https://www.classiccarpartsandpanels.co.uk/shop/porsche-944-lower-rear-quarter/ If you need more you might need to do some fabrication too. These are steel panels taken using the original design, they also do sections for the front and sills which include the 'diamond' pressed shape in the middle. I have used them for the front of one of my wings, they worked well but would advise getting a competent body shop to do the work, I rejected the first attempt which was then done again. There are compound curves involved that need extra care to get it right, what may be right from one angle may not be from another.

Regards

Pete

Pete, it's the other side of the arch I need really(and the arch ideally), as well as the flange that sits under the battery one side and the cubby hole the other.
It's at an excellent bodyshop (read it's going to cost me!) sitting next to a maserati bora so they can fabricate pretty much anything but a premade part would save time and money.
Nothing at all from porsche they have just confirmed.

Ah.. fair enough.. I would try a used wing then, must be plenty around. The usual place they go is what that repair panel covers so it may be a case of used wing plus panel... you might get lucky though and find a wing that's good all round. My car was at a good repair shop, specialising in Porsche, but you've only as good as your weakest link, in my case a new member of staff...

Good luck with your search
