This is exactly how the S7 & 8 cars were mate.
Hand made in steel. Composite rear qtrs never found their way onto the WRC cars until S11 I believe.
This is exactly how they were back in 2001/2002

Yeah Daves talked me into the S11 carbon panels as I don't think he wanted to do my steel panels again lol ,, he wasn't happy with my last lot so wants to start over again and the carbon stuff looked nice so thought it save some weight

Cheeky mock up using an S9 rear door looks promising.
Daves now got the painstaking task of making the rear doors flares & returns from scratch, good job he's not bad at the metal lark.
Can't use the doors he already made as the S9 onwards used wagon rear doors with a higher latched strike pin. This allowed for larger wheel clearance when the rear wheels were bought even further forward on the S9 onwards. As it is the S7/8 brings them further 15mm to standard.

That's why the spare wheel well has been redesigned to hold the flux capacitor
