Stop it. You're making me feel inadequate that I can't be asred to tidy mine up in the body department.
That said, having only a single tidy and unblemished panel on the whole thing (being the tray) I have zero effs to give in a carpark because you have to be seriously talented to damage that panel with an errant door.
Saw earlier that you were concerned what others through about not doing all the work yourself. I take some pride in doing all of the work on mine (and there's a lot to do) by myself, and saving the $$$ in the bargain while also keeping me off the streets and giving me something to get out bed early for on days I don't need to go to work.
The short answer is that it's your beasty, and you can do whatever the heck you want to it and do it however the heck you want to do it and anyone who gives you grief can go do whatever the heck they want to themselves and shut the #@$# up. I might even say you're a blowhard for not fitting the heads yourself and you'd rightly tell me to go pee up a rope, and I'd gladly buy the rope and present it to you in a nice, carved gift box. If you pay off someone to do the job and go catch some dinner while they do, great. You get to put some cash in the pocket of someone who's earned it and happy to have the work and you got to take some time out to reset and just 'live'. If you can afford to get the work done and decide it's the thing to do, nobody has any say in that decision, unless they're also willing to pay for the job to be done (be that in time or their own labour).
And the better half, if she's a good one, would much rather see you spend the money and you have a 'you' day. I know mine would, but she also knows that doing the work myself is what makes me happy.
And her car, I don't work on. I farm that out because I can. Took enough for her to finally take it as 'her' car, no way I'm going to cheap out and service it myself.
