yea its not fair to say this is what it will cost to get that type of repair done i was a loyalcustomer to the shop so he shaved around 800-1000 off the price. it took him over 15 hours of labor

I've got a rust free back half from a wrecked 88 sitting here that my wife wants gone. Figure one of you guys back east could use some quarters.

Nice work for a nice price. I got quoted something like $3000 for the same job....both sides, full respray. We're talking a possible show-car finish, but damn it's a lot of monay!

How much metal did they remove and replace? Did they use the whole quarter or just around the lip of the wheel well? Thanks.

Nice EF man. Mine was looking in rough shape but it's coming alone.

To be honest, $3300 is concidered coming where I am for a mediocre crx. It either has a B series with rust, or stock with no rust. A B18C1 rust free crx up here can yield up to 6000$ Canadian in southern ontario. Good CRXs up here are HARD AS HECK to find, I know, cause I looked.
