panel damage... vx berlina

[Gurezy]

is it possible to take off the rear quarter panel off a vx sedan ?
ive damaged it i thought it would be easier to just replace it..

They are not a bolt on bolt off option ,they are spot welded on .How bad is the damage , post some pics.

im warning ya it aint a pretty sight lol



i done it a while ago... just want to fix it haha

A good panal beater should be able to fix that easy. Or at least a lot easyer then braking all the welds and then welding a new one on. Then it would need paint i would imagine

ouch bro. i have the same problem with my front panel tho. much easier to fix tho just to lazy.

best of luck getting it fixed

[Gurezy]

yeah... ive taken it to a couple places... around about $1000 to fix it and roll my guards... not sure if thats cheap or not haha

[LthlThrt]

is that including paint?

[Gurezy]

i told them i want it to look like it never happened.. so im assuming its including paint... lol

then if they do a good job, itll be alright, but it is best to get a few quotes, as i found out the hard way when i was young and paid an arm and a leg for something that cost next to nothing to do.

[Gurezy]

yeah i know what you mean.. thats why if i can fix it myself then i do it.. but this looks like its need help from a pro.. way to hard for me to do properly haha

[LthlThrt]

yea that is true from what ive read from what other people have written sounds like a pros job. my car had a bit of an accident and they quoted my 6k to do fix it. but me and my dad did it for around 1k.
but he knows his things about cars, he has done everything to do with cars. so i guess i was lucky, but i hope you dont get ripped off cause that is the worse thing and worse when you find out later

[Gurezy]

6k? u might as well buy a new one...
yeah ill get a couple more quotes and see if the place has a good rep before i choose a place.
better to be safe then sorry tru. thanks for the advice mate

[LthlThrt]

yea i know it was ridiculous but dad said no point getting someone else to do something when you can do it yourself. i wouldve upgraded to a v8 but i was still on my p's so i left it a 6.
but yea that is true.
no worries mate like my dad say learn by the mistakes of others because you will never live long enough to make them all yourself.
havva good one and best of luck
