Message: <blockquote data-quote="someotherguy" data-source="post: 20024" data-attributes="member: 6178">08-18-2015 decided to try out the body shop that belongs to the company I work for.  Was told I'd get the employee price, special treatment, blah blah blah.  Explained to the guy I had already found sources for all the parts including the SS-specific items, just needed someone to do a good job on the repairs.  They washed it up to get a good look at it, and started in with the markers...[ATTACH=full]1036[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1037[/ATTACH]And handed me an estimate for $7400 - of which $4400 was the parts list!  $4400!  I made sure I was squared up with them on the estimate and picked it up right away...no sense trying to debate pricing with these clowns.Took it home, slapped the bent bumper back on it and tacked the damaged cover on to hide it.  Installed some taillights to make it driveable and started making my next plans.[ATTACH=full]1038[/ATTACH]09-04-2015 The headlights were fogged really bad and the park lamps weren't much better, so I grabbed some cheapo ebay style clear reflector versions (these didn't hold up well in the long run but were OK for a while)[ATTACH=full]1041[/ATTACH]Richard</blockquote>
