I went to about 5 different shops. the most expensive repair was 1850$ for both car, which isn't worth it cuz i bought the car for 3000. the cheapest estimate was 600$. And this shop also offered to do a complete paint job fixin other rusty spots including the rear quarters for 1500$$. Sounds like a good deal, what do you guys think?

sounds pretty good, but remember...you always get what you pay for...

dj_busychild

well thats the thing, this shop is in Guelph i live here to go to school, i figiured its cheaper here than in TO. The guy was fixing a corvette wghen i came there, so they cant be that bad.

1500 is a good price if he is going to braise new metal in not mig weld.and is that base clear or 1 step paint?

dj_busychild

i have no clue about the paint, im gonna go down there again before i finish exams to ask more questions. Anything else is should ask??

shlammed

ask the dude how much just to put the new panels in...im curious cuz i need that done and i wanna do the rest myself and then just take it in for a cheap spray

dj_busychild

ok well i think around 400-500 $ since its 600 with paint

punkindrublic

can you just braise the guarters in?

Cynikal.Mindset

no, u have to cut and weld if u want it done right

punkindrublic

ya thats what i figured.... braising is not to strong.... but if your just brasing in metal for the quarter panel then it might not matter..... but i'd feel better knowing it was welded in....

dj_busychild

It's definatly welding..i made sure

yo man.. i work in guelph.. just curious which shop gave u that quote?? i am interested in doin it too..

as him to give u more details about the job regarding the 1/4.. cuz make sure its new metal.. and that they seal it so the welds wont rust..

also for the paint.. find out if its acrylic enamel or base-clear..

1500 is average price for whole car done.. i have been quoted from 1100 to 2900 for that with base-clear.. and like everyone says.. u get wat u pay for.. so its all a matter of the quality of the job or references he can give..

but if he is willin to do the 1/4 work for 400 bucks both sides and to stop before painting.. or 600 for both sides includin paint of 1/4.. thats a great deal.. most shops wont do piece work..

let me know.. extremely interested..

Whatever you do, make sure you get the car undercoated soon after the work is complete....I didn't do this, and I wish I had.

dj_busychild

dj_busychild
