hi all,

had a bit of a skid in the snow and slid into right hand rear door of a 1997-1999 model liftback corolla at 5mph

nice dent in the door don't know whether it can be panel beaten or not and will need to be replaced at my expense
window still goes up and down door opens and closes no problem small scratch on orange paint work,

other than door shell should anything else need to be replaced?

how much should this cost me to sort out

I'll guess €200 for door shell, €100 for paint and 4-5hrs labour

or would this be a better option complete door from scrap dealer +paint+labour

how much do scrap dealers charge for rear doors these times?

regards,
aidan

Might be lucky and pick up a matching coloured door at a breakers.Should be a simple bolt on job.
