New accord with a prob

[spnrx]

I need to know how much it would cost to get the rear quarter of an se-i fixed? My best friends uncle is selling his 89 Sei but the Passenger side rear quarter panel is messed off. It looks like a balled up piece of paper.

What do you guys think?

how big is the damage? can you getta pic? by the sounds of it, you might needa new car.

ergh, just finally understood what he ment by rear quarter panel. Gemini2003 has done it, but hes got welding skillz.





I'm a big fan of his project

Replacing a quarter panel properly and getting it painted would probably cost somewhere in the area of $1000.

damn I really wanna buy it to it's like new on the inside but the rear just has the messed up spot. And the trunk is a little a jar.

[A18A]

you can just replace the trunk, pretty simple

I think I'm gonna buy it it's not as bad as that panel it's just in the rear by the trunk. Yeah I'm gettin it for $400, Gonna go take it for a test drive in a min.

yeah the rear panels are a pain to replace/fix, mine was hif from the driver side back end thus why i got my car for cheap, i got it qouted all over town, and the cheapest i found was 754 bucks and thats only in primer, if your good with welding or a slide hammer and other body work tools then have at it, good luck with it

A good friend of the family does body work for a living. To have a professional body shop fix that, it would probley be in 1,800 to 2,300 price range. Labor costs is whats going to kill you. I say do it yourself if you have the knowledge. Or just buy another 3g. For the price its going to cost to fix that, you buy a decent 3g for that price.

I'll get pics up if I can keep it running.

i used to work at a body shop and ill tell yah it wont be 1000 more liek 2k for it b/c they will wanna clear coat the sail pannel and blend everything out not to mention the labor fee , plus if its anything liek the otehr picture they wanna take apart alot of the car to "weld safely"

[MessyHonda]

for 400 bucks i guess its worth it....how many miles does it have?...oh yeah i took autobody class....take some pics so we can tell you the right way to fix it

depending on how much of the quarter panel a shop replaces, i'd say in the neighborhood of $1400-$1800 with it painted and out the door. and since you're getting it for $400 with a over all good looking condition, i'd say go for it.
