The funny thing is the other side is almost pristine.
I don't mind paying a lot because I know what's involved and how time consuming it is. I was guessing between $1,700 and $2,000. I was just getting apprehensive since the body shops I've talked to so far seem to be annoyed I'm even asking.
Insurance isn't an issue since I bought the car that way knowing is was going to be expensive. I'm almost thinking of buying another coupe, something with a TBI engine or blown HG, and just cutting the panel off myself or finding something at the junk yard.
