Yeah, your right. I sent the guy quotes from regular body shops showing an average of $1200 of damage and also the quote from toyota of $980 just for the door, no labor. I asked for $400 and he readily agreed. Like I said, the money will come out of this drivers check, and I don't want to stick it to anyone who works for a living. So now I just have to shell out $100 from my pocket to get the door straightened. By the way, I love the pictures of your build, especially the motor sitting on what looks like the kitchen table, lol. I now have my car in pretty good mechanical shape. New water pump, clutch, belts, hoses, battery, magnaflo cat, full tune up, etc;. I would like to get the body into shape. Except for the door, and a little ding in the front fender, its in pretty reasonable shape. The body work is not something I would like to tackle myself. What can I expect to pay to get this car looking "pretty"? Any idea folks?

Thanks,

Scruffboy
