Replacing entire bug rear quarters... HOW?
'Need some help for my Brother, He's wants to replace the entire rear quarters on his (71) Bug. He has the panels already but now we're looking at just how to fit the damned things!
Has anyone out there ever replaced the full quarter? If so, how did you do it? Have you any tips on how to make it easier? The current rear quarters are shot, all over the place and well beyond salvation.... hence the complete rear quarters. Does anyone have any links to a site with a "how to" on it or something similar? A magazine article (US?) anything to give us a clue. Thanks in advance guys Al

It might not be exactly what you´re looking for, but it is very educational with a lot of photos... http://www.cirkut.com/bug/
Good luck! /Daniel

I checked that site out. He didn't replace a whole quarter. That car turned out looking really nice. I'm not sure if I'd ever start with a car like that and have it be anything above a split. Maybe, just maybe an oval.
What does your car look like? Pictures? Maybe you can get away with sections instead of putting the whole quarter on.

I know this is an old post, but I thought I could be of some help. I have "for fun" replaced both of my entire real quarters on my '73 beetle. If you're still interested, I can send along a bunch of pictures I took during the install.
