My '85 300D has an increasing rust problem at the right rear quarter panel. Turns out that this was replaced at some point and was either a cheap/used/not properly prepared component. The bubbling is in several locations and the worst area is just behind the rear door.

Anyone have one of these replaced and have a sense for the cost? Since the entire quarter panel needs replacement I do not feel in a hurry as my 16 year old drives this car now and it might see some other damage before too long. But the car is a tank and I will probably lean toward fixing it.
