replace the panels and sh*t urself and get a painter to paint it... that way they cant throw, the usual imports cost a lot of fix bullshit on u

Back quater panel is very tricky, as there are two layer of metal. You will need to beat it out from the inside of your boot, that mean remove everything in your boot, drop your suspension, and i hope its not the fuel cap side, if so, you better off give it to a panel beater.

umm, i don't really know about this, but You could try calling your local Tafe... they could use it as a learning excercise for the students or something...

I don't know how keen you would be to have the students working on your car, but I guess you could ask them how much it would cost, or if it owuld cost anything at all ... or, you could go do a short night course at Tafe for 6 weeks, will probly cost you around $300 & learn how to do it yourself, thats what I'm going to do...

i would definetly still be looking into getting her insurance company to pay, and failing that be looking to the cops to chase it up.

thats a great idea !

years ago i did a course on detailing, in the same area as the panel beating students. they do fantastic jobs i saw some of there work its amazing they will always put 100% in there work. at a fraction of the cost.

If you take your car out of sydney to get it repaired you generally only pay half the cost of what you do in sydney. I always ttake mine down to shellharbour down near wollongong, its saved me thousands
