Bodywork guesstimates.

Jimdagym

I am 750 miles into the SAAB and I adore it. I have fallen in love with driving all over again.


But.....
There are 2 marks on it which bug me any time I see them. If they cost any more than a packet of hula hoops to get fixed, its probably not worth it, so I need to find out.

Dent, rear drivers side door.


I dont know if that can be pulled out or not. The paint is rubbed more than anything, would paintless dent removal fix this?

Front passenger door window frame.



That's quite small, a little bigger than your thumbnail maybe, but its flaking. Is that a whole side of car respray?????



Does anyone have any idea of what they would both cost and what methods would be involved?

Cheers Board.

You can do a spot repair on the door pillar, the door itself you can also just repair the panel due to the horizontal swage line. Approx cost for somewhere to do both, probably 200 euro if you use a SMART repairer, but a bodyshop could cost you anything up to 450/500 as they might insist on blowing the door into the next one as the repair is so close to the edge of the next door.

Really? If I could get it done for €200 i definately would. Recommend any smart repairers I could talk to in the north dublin / leinster area?

I can't as I haven't used any or seen their work, but others here seem happy to recommend CarCraft.ie
