Scruffboy needs help!

Well, I'm back on the road, the car runs great, but the door is a little more than hinges. One auto body shop spit out a $1300 estimate (insane). Toyota wants $900 just for the door panel. I spoke to a guy I know who has done body work for me before and he said it will need to be pulled some but he could hook me up for $500. I will tell this company if their driver (he said it would have to come out of his pocket) gives me $300 I'll be happy, I ain't lookin to juice nobody, but the guy did hit my door. I have been writing for a local paper and as a reporter I've gotten to know a lot of cops. They say that since I have all the info from this guy I can still file a report. They said that half the time they don't respond to fender benders and just tell the people to exchange insurance info, and I did that. I was just hoping someone else out there may have gotten hit before and would be able to tell me what they had to go through.
