How much ...

[BP_Z28]

Would it cost to have this repaired?

Anyone here good @ body work and good at welding?

I took to long to get this taken care of and now paying the consenquences for it

[SoulTerror]

Ouch, that your 1/4 panel? I'm gonna assume it's expensive to fix correctly.

Eek, that sucks. I can tell you this, I just had one replaced, and my unpainted new 1/4 was 800 dollars. Then there is the labor to cut the old one out, paint the new one, and weld the new one in. You are looking at a lot my friend.

I repaired mine Good as new. took me a week.

[craig62989]

that would be an easy patch fix.

[Kwazrollinz28]

looks like someone patched the rocker panel once before.

[jderry]

ironicly i just repaired mine today
it was only surface rust so all i did was use an air grinder to get it off, use a little body filler sand that down prime and paint

[meissen]

I know how you feel, Rolo. I'm discovering TONS of rust on my car's under carriage.

[BP_Z28]

Yup its the rocker panel driver side

[ITSSLOW]

Unless you do it yourself you'd have more money wrapped up into that repair than the car is worth. Don't mean to be a dick but its the truth.

[Kwazrollinz28]

X2 they want 2000 just to pull my dent thats the size of my fist.

bastards, I remember when body work was dirt cheap when i was a kid.

Just clean it up, Bondo It and sand it down and paint it, The corner is still there So you can do it, Mine was much worse I still have to finish my Low spots but other then that it looks 10x better.

The problem with patching it is that it's a stress point. I had both mine done last summer and this spring, it looks like nothing was done, rust is back and back in the shop it goes, while the motor's replaced. What it looks like happened is that the patch cracked and opened the inside to the elements. Not huge, but enough, after a little while, the paint came back off and there's the rust again. If you do go through with it, be damn sure you get it done right.

[98blackbeauty]

patching over the surface with fiberglass or bondo will give you 1 - 3 months. then it will be back, problem is the rust and decay on the inside you can't get to by surface patch.

[BP_Z28]

Well I would rather have someone who has done it before do mine...

Any takers Ill pay cash, pizza & beer lol


Todd I might be in saginaw next week
