    Default Fixing up this VX Berlina

    I've got a VT/VX Berlina (Haven't had much time to look at it, but I'm 99% sure its a VX berlina because the original owner said it was a 2000-ish model). My dad is going to give me the car because he wants to buy a new car. It's hit a wall and is horribly disfigured.

    I'm thinking of repairing the bumper and repainting the car white because it's just so damn sexy <3

    Could someone please help me out with how much I should expect to pay for the job, or if any of you guys are located in sydney and would like to help me out, please do reply <3

    Well champ.. u may want to check for frame damage too
    but ull be looking at 2 new doors at least
    a new bonnet 2 new fenders a new front bumper possibly new front lights
    all re sprayed and fitted

    plus you will need to make sure there isnt any damage on the k frame radiator ect..

    good luck.. depending on kms.. and overall condition of the car u will prob be up for about 2 k painted depending if u can get parts cheap n fit them urself if u want it to look good

    How would I go about checking for frame damage? I know that the fender (?) (sorry im just getting into cars and modding them XD) will fall off unless that black zip lock thing is holding it.

    Why would the kms matter when you're looking at repairing the body?

    How difficult is it to do this whole job by myself and one or two other people heping me?

    look at the front rails. if the paint is cracked theyre bent.
    looks like it went in front drivers side first. bonnet looks ok. new front guard and bumper is needed and rear door if you want to.
    the rest looks like its ok.
    i do as the voices tell me
