what kind of bumps and bruises? Any external rust? My car has rust spots at base of windshield, and the drainage channels in the trunk area. Would they do a proper "metal finish" type of job or big bondo? Looking forward to see your results and a description of what they fixed before painting. Did they provide the paint? Thanks Brian

I had some rust. I fixed most of it, but, there were a few spots that they were going to fix. My understanding is they cut out the old and weld in the new.

my car had alot of waves in the panels and doors. probably from "flex" and i installed the inner long kit to stiffen up that problem. Waves are a pain to get out and require alot of body time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

mine was going to be around 2k. Thats for everything + they are scraping the wheel wells and repainting black. Also, they are painting the trunks, engine bay, interior. Clear coat and color sand.

I have not seen the finished product, but, i'm not taking my other car to Los Panchos. I can get it done locally for a few hundred dollars more and not have to hassle with trailering it to Mexico.

I really like the cars i've seen that were done down at Los Panchos, but, they need to be priced less than OC enough to make the trip worthwhile.
