im sorry guys for posting up the 100000000000000000 rear quarter post , i know where and how to cut them, i have already done so, i just cant find any info on how to fill them in, i knew a bloke who fibreglased in but it just punched through, any help would be good
an Yes i have used search and theres just sooo many,i need to know because i am getting the car roadied and i dont think they'd appreciate 2 massive holes in the back of the car.

i used some 2mm plate
just cut the chop a little lower and made vertical slits to create tabs, wich i then folded inwards and welded to

Forgot what is called ( starts with B ) but its low carbon content steel and is beautiful to weld. I used 2mm. Trace them out and cut them out. Stitch MIG it all the way round so the heat doesnt build up and blow a hole. Then fill the inside up with body deadner and cold zinc. Hey presto

I just got a piece of 2mm steel placed it over the hole. scribed around the inside. Cut the steel to the scribe line. Then TIG welded into place. I also back steeped the welds to reduce disortion. Bit of black paint job done.
