Update: Had a word with the garage, still no parts available locally. Having a bad feeling they may go down the repairing the existing panel path. So, a quick question guys, in your opinion is the damage done on the front fender and door repairable?

I would say it is repairable but won't be easy. I used to restore classic cars and had a guy that could repair rotted panels to like new. Now of course there are also guys that will slap some bondo in and call it a day so you would want to check the work closely.

If the repairs do not meet their standards and as used parts are not available, only then the garage can request ordering NEW parts. If i request new parts from the start, I have to foot 30% of the invoice value. Sigh! |

Thank you guys for the input. So i paid a visit to the garage, here are the pics. He explained the process as well however I have got a really bad toothache and couldn't pay attention a lot. Something along the lines of they have pulled the dents, the next step is to p_____ (i cant remember the name) which will take 3-4 days, once the panel gaps and the lines are correct lay the primer and then additional 2-3 days for paint and polish.

I would have thought a door skin and new fender to be cheaper than that work. The rear panel I understand but everything else, wtf.....
