Hi guys,

Looking for some help regarding E30 panels. A friend of mine owns a body shop and has the job of replacing a pair of rear arches/rear quarters on a cab, but the repair panel he has appear to be different?

What im trying to find is if cab/coupe rear quarters are the same shape/dimensions/profile etc?

Any help will be great. Thanks in advance

Mark :D

i think all cabs had the same lowered rear arch line as the facelift (87 onwards) coupes. as has already been said though, the sills are deeper on the cab too.
cheers,
