i guess i like this spot (i got hit)

lets start off with a little background info. i just bought this car (1987 Firebird Trans Am v8 305) and i think i got a really good deal on it! ($1200)
-No rust, interior is almost perfect, new tires, needs new exhaust

same spot as my red one WAS dented if you wanna see, i can post pics

THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT, my neighbor at the end of the road decided to pull out really fast when i was driving down the road, i only saw it at the last millisecond and i tried to swerve, but it was too late










more pics tomorrow in the light

door looks alright, but paint is messed up. gfx is cracked on door and piece under door, big dent be easily pulled out??

how much a good paint job going for these days? if i can just get the money, i would probably save to have whole car done at a GOOD shop!

would my insurance go up if its all his fault?

Well that sucks. You should have your neighbor pay for a whole new paint job.

Yeah, There is no way insurance is going to be able to blend the paint and have it completely match. Argue and get a new paint job. With enough complaining, i'm sure you can get one.

i don't think our cars are worth enough to the insurance company.

$3000 at kimballs, i don't think their insurance company will like that
