Re: Estimated damages please?

It is totalled. The cost to repair far outweighs the cost to replace. You need a new rear body panel along with everything before that like bumper, reinforcement absorber etc.
Front end needs a...

Re: car fixed

New bumper, new fender, blend on right door, around 1500 to 2000 dollars. Some shops might charge to blend your left fender as well.

Re: Honda Del Sol Quarter Panel Repair

I would get a whole new quarter if I were you. The whole wheel lip looks messed up. And with that huge amount of rust on the bottom there, you are going to need a much bigger section to fix the rust...

Re: $2500 paint job, what to expect?

If it looked good under the shop lights, it will only look better outside. The shop lights show everything. The sun hides alot.

Re: Best way to remove radiator support

Grind all the welds off. Will come off easy. Grinders can be found for cheap. Or drill the spot welds out. An electric drill can be found for cheap too.

Re: How much would repairs cost? airbags, seatbelt and tire?

One other thing as well you might need. When air bags go off they burn the wires out as well so a new clock spring is in order and if it is a passenger air bag, a harness for that side might be...

Re: How much would repairs cost? airbags, seatbelt and tire?

Over a thousand dollars. Go through Insurance.
You need air bags, depending on how the dash is on that car possibly a dash as well.
Both front impact sensors and air bag module. Also the seat belt....

Re: replacing roof skin on em1

Well not looking at one you would have to take the front and rear windows out. Remove the head liner,and drill out all the spot welds. Most likely there is another support bar that is there so the...

Re: Thoughts on replacing entire front clip?

Post pics first. Maybe you don't actually need to go through all that. Normally if you have to do all that the car is totalled and not worth it. Cheaper and less headache to buy a shell.

Re: Having body repair done. To fill or not to fill? ?

Have them fix it. That way you still keep factory seam sealer on the door. The only invasive thing you have going right now is the back door getting a new door skin. When posible you want to keep as...

Re: How can I tell if I got OEM parts?

No way to tell if it is a HONDA fender. Was the claim under your insurance? If so does your insurance cover aftermarket or OEM parts? If this was put under another persons insurance, was there ever...

Re: Replacing bent fender apron?

Apron must be welded on. You should also pull it back into place before welding a new one in to make sure that your rad support and fender rail all line up nice. If the rad support and upper rail are...

Re: Body work on my 92 hatch

Re: quarter panel repaired on a eg4dr

Just use seam sealer. Get the one in a can that is brushable so you do not have to buy a gun to squirt it out. Or get the tube if you have a gun and just dab some with your finger into the hole that...

Re: scarp it or try to fix it?

structurally it's not that bad. The roof looks bad cause it looks like something hit it. Not from the wrinkling of an impact. The larger dent on the roof could be from that but it is all fixable. As...

Re: which quote to show the adjuster

Whatever you do don't let them cut you a check on the street. You will not get the right amount to make you financially whole again.

Re: Scraped/ Dented my 1/4 panel on my own fence

Re: How do I fix this? eg civic.

You would have to post up some pics. Most of the time if you are going to have to cut a rail out of a car and weld a new one in, it is not even worth it.
You would need to pull the car on a frame...

Re: i dont really understand?

You should start by reading the sticky. It should help you out a fair bit. Then ask questions if you are unsure.
