Hi there everyone
Hope I'm not in the wrong section (sorry if i am) but i was wondering if you can help me.
My Mum's car got bashed the other week on the N.S. quarter panel and slightly on the door. I have managed to source the parts needed for the repairs today... but i'm not sure if my mechanic/welder friend can do the work for me or not. If he doesn't have time, I will have to go else where and i'm not sure how big a job it is to cut out a quarter panel and weld in a new one and i don't want my first attempt to be on my mums car. ( I like it! )
So i guess what I'm asking is
1) How long does cutting out the old 1/4 panel and welding & blending in the new one take?
2) How much would/should a job like this cost?
I'm an artist by trade and have worked with automotive paint in the past, so i think i can handle the paint job but to make my life easier i would pay to have it done. ( any ideas on roughly how much that would be?)
Speedy reply would be great as i would like to buy the parts today but don't want to if it's going to cost a fortune without my mate :S
Thanks
Cobie
