Default GC8 Rear Quarters Help

Hey guys!

I haven't posted on here in well, a few years. Anyway, I love Subaru's and I have owned them on and off for 10 years. I still have the first Impreza turbo I bought and I am currently in the process of restoring it. It is a 1998 Subaru Impreza Turbo Terzo No.020. The arches started going so I garaged it where it has been stood for 6 years! I am struggling to find the rear quarters anywhere. Does anybody know where I could find any? I know ICP used to sell them but after chatting to them, they can no longer get them. I have removed one of my rear quarters as that is the only way to access the rot from behind and I really don't want to have to put the old one back on and repair it. Any advice would be massively appreciated.

If the arches have started going check the sills. ICP should be able to get them but if they are saying no then have a look on ebay. The Facebook ones mentioned in that thread should be thicker anyway.

Thanks for the help guys, sorry for the late reply.

I've seen those arches before I were after the full rear quarters. If I can't source them I will have to repair my old ones. I wonder if Subaru themselves can get them...

As for the sills you are absolutely right! They need replacing too but ICP do still sell them and plenty on eBay.

Thanks again for your time, much appreciated!

I know a guy at the main dealers. If you want his details let me know and he should be able to tell you if they have replacements.

You could always look for someone breaking an import. Some cut the rear quarters out and sell them.
