Body damage estimate.

Hello guys, first post here so would just like to say hello and hope to be a long time member

. Anyways, I just got in from taking a video of the slight body damage on my 86. Would anyone with body experience or just general 86 info give me an estimate on how much it would cost to fix the body on this beaut :P

Thankyou in advance.

what he said, and probably more if they find anything funky after they start the work that needs fixing while they are in there.

body work and paint can be expensive when done properly.

Re: Body damage estimate.

Just as a general "over the phone" rule we charge about $400 per panel to paint. Bumper cover would be about the same if you had a nice used one.
Another general rule ... your area could be way different. See a local bodyshop. Estimates are usually free, they can get a good look at your car and they can discuss your many options.
