Estimates on Damage

Hi, need some estimates on damage. I believe the quarter panel and the fender are going to have to be replaced. If you guy would look and see what you think the damage would be, I have looked at hawks website and yearone, and I will probably purchase most from hawks provided they show good reviews (which I am searching for right now in another window.) Thanks. And if I put this in a wrong place moderator, please do what you wish, I just would like the have the luxury of people's opinions.

I am replacing the gfx from either some people I have e-mailed or hawks.

Last one, and the really bad one, the dent from the tree.

doesnt really look that bad to me. i'd just pull it back out and use a thin coat of body filler and prime it up and have it painted or paint it myself.....

Fender=$100 for new.

Ground effects ...maybe $50 from a junkyard

That last pic....Pull the back seat armrest and the plastic rear fender cover and you'll be able to get to that dent and start working it back out. Once you have it more or less back out flush, filler, sanding and paint..good as new.

IIRC, for the last one there is stamped sheet metal bracing that prevents access to it from behind. It may be easier to use a dent puller to get it back into shape.

If youve never done body work before youd probably leave that last one for the shop. Theyd probably be able to do a better job of getting it back into shape w/o lots of body filler and such.

I believe I will leave it for the shop. My dad back when he was a mechanic, used to know this guy a lot so maybe I can get a discount. Maybe. . Exhaust is smashed in, sounds like it's choking. Oh well, they coming to look tuesday.
