I had a major accident with my, since it was all covered by insurance I had panels replaced. Driver side rear door, panel behind door, trim on beam betwen door, two rims and other minior cosmetic work were done. I got t-boned by a Durango.

Panels in New England states are easy to come by not sure in your area.

what year is your car and how many miles? most insurances would just claim that as a total loss!

It was a 99.5 the original value of the acident was 2k but in the end after searching the final was 7.5k. It truely should of been totaled but since the repairs were already started they just keeped going and worked with the insurance company. Needless to say my car though fully repaired is valued very low now which is nice on insurance in Mass.

hey, yea i bought it from a salvage auction, i work for a dealer (happy_motors on ebay) and we have been rebuilding cars for over 3 years so i got hook ups. lol prolly cost me betwen 500(if i just fix) to 800(if i change drivers door shell )it has 87k miles now (had 85,500). it's a salvage title.

yea i'm replacing/fixing drivers door, fixing passanger door and fixing quarter (once pulled, it wown't look bad, it's not crushed, just pushed)

i paid 3200, 100 for rim, 150 for plugs and wires, few other things for another 100. timming belt kit for 250

so i have like 3800 or so now. another lets say 1k to fix, 4800.

1k to fix all that body damage is a little low...but it will still be a pretty good deal when all is said and done...i'm gonna predict a figure closer to 6500 in the end
