thats a lot of work..

lol thanks

wow...to fix all that damage and repaint I'd say you're looking at easily few thousand $$$ (if you're having a shop do all the prep and everything).

any decent bodyshop is gonna tell you 2 things.
#1, the dents are fixable, although you'd be better off with a new bumper.

#2, the delamination of the paint is a problem.
theyre going to want to strip all that old, damaged paint off, otherwise there is no garantee it wont start peeling again.
that can get expensive.

it'll probably cost more than the car is worth.

its really hard when ppl come on here and start asking for prices on this and that


every shop is different and i agree that they are going to wanna strip your paint in order to guarentee their work. This is going to get pretty pricy...

i will agree with the 3 thousand dollar mark because of your body damage....but call around or bring your car to some shops for a guesstimate.

Airplane remover....go team!

hell yes.

lol,ok,so ill get my c-one hood,bumper then,easy.thanks for the input

to get a new stock hood, left fender and dents roughly equivalent to yours and have my car sprayed with a porsche red and many coats of clear it ran about 2800

could you possibly strip all the old paint off yourself? that save you a good bit

ya i would paint the whole car if i could,im a complete noob but i am a fast learner...i have the time and a place to do it at.somebody pm me and tell me how to if u could...

just go to one day paint and body. it's not like it's name and done in one day. they had mine for about a week. I had front end damage, so I gave them a new bumper and they also took out all minor dents out, molded my body kit, and painted the whole car pearl white. came out real nice. I had the paint for over a year with no problems. it's about $1500 after negotiating a little.

I have done some body work before. You say your a noob, but the way to learn is to do it yourself,if your not sure on something, read a book, there are plenty. sand it down your-self, you will understand y body shops charge so much. When i had my old one painted the shop and i agreed that if i did the prep work they would knock off $200, paid $600. Looked great. The spraying is easy, the prep is the hard part.

For your rear quarter let a shop handle that one because of the crease. I would get a new door from a junk yard. (been there done that) Now you have a new door, no dents, spare parts for future, know where there is a car that u can get more parts off of, sanding experience, paint experience, bragging rights, saved money for future upgrades, and can now help your friends with their cars, or possibly a new career.

ouch.. sorry to see the damage. come down to SO cali and my friends and fix it =)

clear my friendddddd,y dont u return my myspace messages...i still need my prices,wanna quote me on how much it would be for u to install all my goodies,and take out the dent and paint it white??
