Ok so today sucked. I was driving down the street when this jerk in a Ford F-350 decides that he wants to drive down the middle of the road when taking a turn. So long story short he forced me off the road and I spun out hitting a tree, totally smashing in my driver side door. The car still runs good thank good, and it doesnt bump, or pull in any direction so Im pretty sure the frames good. But anyway does anyone know how much it'll cost me around to get it fixed, Im not looking for an exact price just an estimate. Thanks guys.

I got some good news guys. I went to the local junkyard and found a 1997 Celica ST there thats totaled except for the driver side door, the door panels match the interior and its electric. Its only gonna cost me $200 for the door. I got lucky to and my Dad just got a job working for some auto shop and the guy specializes in auto body repair. So there going to put on the door, pop out all the little dents around the car and paint it for free, I just have to buy the paint. I got so lucky, also they looked at it to day and the frame is fine smile.gif Thanks everybody again. You guys are the best.

Nice!!! Glad to hear everything is going to work out for you! Still sucks that you are having to pay for the door and paint, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

EDIT: You should also pull everything valuable that you can off of that totaled Celi and sell yourself some parts to help cover the cost of everything thumbsup.gif
