In 1980, I had the same collision only on the drivers side. I was sideswiped. They took the door off and it was banged out, but there was a lot of cutting out the inside structure and weld it back to get to the inside surfaces to correct. The real issue was that they distorted the rear quarter panel by banging it out too far.
I refused delivery, and they had to cut it out and section the rear section about 2 feet by 1 foot. It came back OK after that, but you may want to buy a new door and rear qp and section it in, because it is easier than asking someone to get the curves right. I am not good at that stuff, but a good bodywork shop can cut and weld. Better yet, they can probably do more of the qp than is damaged, and get it right. There are plenty of flap door handles to change the key barrel and keep it keyed right. You have the right color! Save that car! Good luck! John avidfanjpl |
