i thought this would be the best place to post this...

id like to try this myself but i dont even know where to start? bondo? some type of welding? let me know

i think obviously i would need a new fender and new door... but what about that rear panel? i dont think that is replaceable it would need body work correct?



let me know, its a car thats for sale in my area.

what would your guys' educated guess' be on total cost to fix that?

 

needs new fender, door and quater panel. if you've never done body work before get someone who has to help you with it. you can't weld that cause i won't be worth it. bondo maybe but still won't be pretty. and the dent will be immpossible to pull out.

how much do u think all that would cost?

 

body shops give free estimates go get one.

drop your pants and prepare your self for a "prison session"

my sugestion, buy a new car. Thats borderline totaled on that car.

yea your probably right... i dont think im gonna buy it

 

that's like a $1800 job, i got hit in my coupe on my door and the rear quarter panel and it was about 2ft long and 8 inches wide and metal was creist like your fender and i got estimate at $800 and that was from a few shops.

 

that looks bad, i would hold off on buying that. unless they are willing to give you a really good deal. dealing with bodyshops can be a pain.

 

You can replace rear 1/4's if you want but unless you do it yourself it usually isnt to cost effective but YES it can be straightened and perfected with vary little filler with a stud gun, slide hammer, body hammers a little filler and some patience
Depending what they want for the car I would jump all over that, its a easy fix if you can do body work.

 

tryhap recycling.com or importautosalvage.com i got quoted 500 for a door and quarter panel fenders are like 35 on ebay
good luck
