someone did a hit and run om my 96 mustang a year ago. I found an exact replacement and i was wondering how to install/remove it, or if anyone knows where i can find instructions.

Removal=cutting wheel and/or rosebud (torch). If it is the whole quarter then just use the cutting wheel to cut off the spot welds.

Install=weld the new one on, grind and bang the welds down (if needed), seal the seams with 3M seam sealer. Paint to match

Yeah, the rear quarters are part of the Unibody structure so they are welded on. It is not to hard to R/R but after the new one is installed it takes some skill to smooth it out so it looks good after paint
