How much for body work, +paint

ive got an 84z with some minor body damage. its gonna need a new bumper,door and fender. how much do you think it would cost to have all the body work done and then spray a base coat clear coat on it? car got backed into, and i was considering selling it, but ive decided to keep it.

It's not easy to asses damage and give estimates online. You would be better off calling local body shops and setting up an appointment for an estimate.

ask around don't just go to any body shop in your area. find out exactly what you get for ya $, type of paint (2pak)etc, maybe u can fit the bumper yourself to save$. Maybe you might want to strip the car your self?. When I paint I take all the door handles , locks etc & lights off it gives a much better long lasting job.
