Any suggestions for fixing this are appreciated

I've never done any 1/4 work so its all new to me

[MP81]

Is the alignment still straight?

[kammi10]

ouch man..... good luck with that.... looks like it needs some serious tweaking to come back...

[02RedCamaro]

make sure you check all the wires and make sure none of them got cut, cause then you'll have problems, been there done that. How is the hatch, bent at all?

[badinfluence]

hatch is straight
wires are all good
it drives straight down the road, doesn't pull so the alignment cant be that bad but may be off

looks like it bent at the corner of the 1/4 and the inner-bumper.

sledge hammer time?

BFH mod! Bang it out and Evercoat it if you want a cheap fix. Take it to a shop to have a new one installed for about $1700.

[badinfluence]

1700 is out of the question...i paid 1700 for the whole car lol

My best idea i have at the moment is get a chain and pull it out with a tree lol

the right way and best way is to replace the quater pannel itself. then u get to look at whats damaged on the inside fix anything u can. put a new one on and paint it. i had a sunfire that i fixed in class both quarters where smashed in trunk was gone and everything was pushed into the back seat. took me bout a month to fix so this should take about a week or 2 it u do it that way

and if u want any help just ask me i love doing body work.

Well hey if you find anyone good at welding them in hit me up... i need mine replaced... I have a buddy that i was planning on having weld my new quarter in but then he got real busy for work... if he gets free sometime maybe ill swing down to his house and then run to your place... he lives out on Saginaw highway near 27... so not to far from your place... and can see if he can do anything to help you out...


Dang give it july 21st 2009... Ill graduate NADC in the collision repair field... Ill be able to help some people out

[badinfluence]

Well then let me find the parts and maybe i'll call up one of you guys lol

I received a quote for $450 to get it fixed, that sounds really low to me (of course it was Maaco)

a good body shop gave me a quote of 1500 to fix it

i dont think i'm going to be able to fix it and have it turn out good myself

My buddy wrecked his taurus and the body shop told him $2400. Me and him spend and afternoon on the car and took it back and they quoted us at $650. See what you can do yourself and then take it in.

The 1/4 alone is gonna be $500 or more. I saw one on ebay a while ago(pass side) that was OEM GM and it went for $650 or something. I think they said in the auction listing the price from GM was about $1200. Sounds like Macco wants to just hammer it out and slap a gallon of bondo over it.

Well that's just what they do....

i just went and talked to a guy tonight about painting the engine bay in my car, he's going to be taking it in a couple weeks. he lives out in clarkston and does "side" work out of his garage which is actually an entire body shop. he has a frame rack and a down draft booth in his "garage" his name is carlo's and his number is 248-701-8618 might be worth a shot to see what he could do. he's a bit backed up right now so if you're not in a huge hurry he'd probably be able to do it
