Going to widen the rear flare and repaint looks like a little more work then expected

I don't see what is so bad about them?

all of the fender flares were added after the fact
so all of them have a welding seam
and usually a little filler to help smooth out that seam.
(as well as any warping that may have occured during the welding process)

that flare looks normal

The real question is how did you get the car to stick to the ceiling? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

The flares look just sub par of a good body tech, but nothing awful. However the front of the rear fender was repaired in a way that really could have been done a LOT better.. You need to decide what thats worth to you.
A: cut out the bad metal and replace it
B: skim over it and be done. Again the work to get it looking straight has been done.. its just really patchy.. (Looks like they used a drill and slide hammer with quite a lot of holes, then bondo'ed over the holes vs welding them up)

Unfortunately I'm not a body guy but I do happen to work at a well known porsche shop in to South Bay.. Which also mean I usually don't have much time to work on my own stuff... I would like to replace that 1/4 piece by the door jam anyone know where I can get one. ?

That doesn't look too bad at all, weld up and do your patching. Use a skim
of mar-glass at the seams with some honey oil in it (makes it smoother,easier to sand) gnarl it down with 36-40 grit. Double check you metal (high & low spots)
then re-cream with filler and block it to perfection........prime

Body man is blowing up your skirt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

Trying to make you think he is best thing since sliced bread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) and get you to sign up for the big dollar resto (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Please post more photos, as what I saw is not that bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The body guy at my shop doesn't think it's all the bad but if you we're to look at the cars that I work around you'd want to hide this thing in the closet

take a grinder to a 930 turbo from 1976- 1980-ish...
they hand welded all of those turbo flares onto those cars in the beginning
(remember the factory originally only intended to build 500 of them for homologation)

I'll bet you that a lot of those cars left the factory with similar welding seams and putty.

Is that a jack under the tire or a wheel dolly?
