Im no panel beater but the only way to fix a sill would be slide hammer or pulling jig. They would weld little pins on the dents and pull on them. If its any more than minor damage welding on a new one would be the way to go.

HOLY F*&^ *cries*
sorry to see this man,

you'll have to bash it out the bottom of the door frame a bit then fill it with some thing good, cant remember the stuff they use (you see it on pimp my ride a bit with the dinged up cars)

the guard CAN be saved, mate those panels are flimsy, just get out off the car, and take it to a beater, they'll beable to beat it straight, then fill it again or get a new one and cut the flute out?

so what exactly happened, how did a bike slide into you? your fault or his?
sad day for modified cars :(

you can get the skirts recast easy from the looks of it i dont think the skirt would be repairable

id say $500 if u did it yourself ish, but for a insurance quote id go with $1500ish

The only time consuming thing will be tacking on a new sill panel, but it's not the end of the world, you just cut the old spot welds out and pull it off, put the new one on and weld. Then just bolt your new door and gaurd on and your mint again. You can get VN gaurds and doors for almost nothing, but you might want to bog the gaurd or weld a new bit on the bottom if your VZ flutes are important to you :)

the insurance mobs are slack as when it comes to paying out. when i was ran into in my hz it took 3 weeks for them to ok the work to be done because the stupid bi**h said it was my fault when she came out of a side street
