Your car is probably worth around 2k without the rust. I'm taking off points mostly for the shitty paintjob, the fact that its probably got plenty of miles on it, and adding points for things like the rims, and the probably decent sound system you likely have in there. Anyways, blue book in excellent condition is about 2075 bucks.

You're going to spend a lot of money having that fixed properly. The entire section of the car's body has to be ordered and the old section cut out. Then the new section welded in and smoothed out and repainted. How much do you think that would cost?


I recommend just hackjobbing it however you can find. Fuck, rivet in some peices of fiberglass and smooth the edges with bondo or something, who cares? You should consider what makes economic sense with the car. I mean you could go the route of welding in new material, but like I said...a pro is needed or its going to look like shit anyways and cost more money...and a pro is going to be VERY EXPENSIVE as they have to do what I described above.
