i understand that you don't wanna rip anyone but with the guy that quoted $500 i would put the dude that hit ur car into direct contact with him so he can pay...
don't ask for $300 coz then you have to shell out $200 and why should you

get quotes all on paper... and show them all to the guy and he'll see the cheapest and should pay up

good luck with it

Default Re: Quotes

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

just a little comment real quick... its not sticking it to anybody if they did something, he hit your door, he should have to pay. you didnt do anything wrong unless you threw the door open, knowing he was going to hit it... im not trying to say what your doin is wrong but you shouldnt have to pay anything.

Default Re: Stickin it

Well, its done with. I accepted the offer and will put $100 out of my pocket. Then I would like to really get some work done on the body. I will be coming into some cash soon as I'm getting a nice IRS refund and our union negotiated a contract that pays back raises, payable in lump sum. I should be able to put together about $2500 by spring. Can that buy me some nice body work and paint?

well I agree that if someone causes damage to you they owe you, however its nice to see someone so honest and reasonable. Its all about karma and you clearly have great karma. It'll come back to you in a good way. its nice to hear there are still some good people out there.

Thanks Dan, you made my day. This situation has had me a little down, but I now realize it is only a machine, things could have been much worse.

Sincerely,

James
