Bad damage to right rear door, and a little to right front - Click HERE for Original Thread

Well, turning into a driveway at an odd angle, late at night, I managed to mess up the right rear door pretty badly. The right front has a tiny little bend/scrape, at the very edge too. I took some photos, here they are (full size pictures linked below small versions):

So, what should I do to repair this to "new"? I don't want to halfway do it, and have problems in a few months, I want it to be as good as new. Do you think a good auto body shop could fix it up? How much do you think it would cost? Ballpark figures based on experience would be great.

Thanks very much for your help.

OUCH!! :eek: That must have hurt.

Any reputable body shop will be able to return your car to like-new condition.

The outer panel for the rear door lists for ~$250. Add prep, paint, and assembly and I am guessing it will cost approximately $750.

Shop around and get a few estimates.

Good luck.

You might be able to find a whole door at a junk yard or something?

Is it just the rear door damaged?

Thank you, I talked to some guys around here and they suggested a great body/paint shop. I gave them a call but no one was available so I left a message. That's great they can just get a new outer panel, that way it really will be "new". ;) The front door has a tiny little bend in it right by the rear door, but I think it'll be no problem for them to sort that out, and the scuffs look really superficial on it so it should be fine.

Thanks so much!
