Right Ive gone from this yesterday




To this last night;

Door



Sill



Im gutted lads. This car is my pride and joy and this is the first bump Ive had. It was last night when pulling out of a car park, it was dark, only clutch control to propell me, full lock on steering, 5mph and twat, I twatted this staionary post that is knee high and was out of sight. I was ****ing fuming becuase I wasnt concentrating and it could have been avoided. The pictures dont do this justice. The door is ****ed. I cannot believe how thin the panels are, theyre like coke cans. As I said I was only moving on clutch control and I got this. The noise was phenominal though!

Anyway what do you think I shud do?

Ive been to a couple of specialists today and here are my options.

I was quoted £200 for a panel beater to beat the dents out and it will look new. However £200 for that seems steep.

I have been quoted £240 by someone else to have a new door resprayed (when I say new door I mean donor door) and my rear arch done too. And he said he could re-shape that flat spot in the sill.

What would you guys do?

Winston if your reading have you any 432 passenger doors?

I phoned LTR but he said call back tomorrow to see if he has a door.

This is what I would prefer to do find a 432 passenger door and whack that on. I aprreciate that the colour night not be exact but by having one side sprayed it would mean it may look different to the other side but this might not be noticable. I think a donor 432 door would be best.

Lads what would you do?

PS I couldnt sleep last night because of this!

[Danny-ACE!]

Just buy a replacement door. Will be lots cheaper.

1, get over it, its a lump of metal. we all make mistakes

2, get a 432 door off another valver or willy3

3, have sill / rear arch repaired

4, say ah well shit happens and my bank balance is now a little lighter

5, go drive the thing and smile again!!! :P

Cheers,

I know the cars not writtne off, but its just a bit of a mess.

Ive phoned LTR for a 432 door but ive to call him tomorrow.

Is changing the window and electrics not an absolute pain in the arse if I get a replacement door?

Never done one before.

Its £200 for the panels to be beaten out a bit steep really?

Yeah

Unlucky fella.

yeah dont **** about, get hold of a second hand door in good nick. the sill is an easy fix, i would be tempted to prep it, fill it and then blend it in myself due to the location so circa 20GBP for materials and free to do! arch, well not sure about that haha
