I found the whole back end, the body that is, since on my son's 90 Vert is "one piece", not quarter panels etc, what is a good price for a replacement? Found one close to me, but have not idea on a price. Suggestions please.

I payed 200 dollars for an entire rear quarter panel from a 2002 rav 4.

For the back half of a much older car, no more than 300. It would be cheaper to find a rolling chassis thats good and buy that.

It is a used one, no rust or dents. I'm thinking about 3-500. Sound about right ?

I wouldn't pay that much. I gave $500 for my whole car.

Yeah, nice, but I got estimates for the bodywork to be done on it, 1600 cheapest. Now, my buddy helping me move hit the car. I'm sorry, but I don't screw my friends out of favors, or money, so I am trying to make this as painless for him as possible. A guy the other day offered me 3500 for the car, as is, not even looking under the hood. I will fix my son's car, not sell it, or let him either, and do right for my buddy. Just want a price I can work with.

Sorry for being so righteous. I don't screw friends, don't want a 500 dollar POS, and will never not have this car, or maybe another one or two, be out of my familes possession.

They are priceless as far as I am concerned.

PEACE THE DOG, and now, I will go have a drink, thank you!!!!!!!

3500 for the car is an incredible price. S5 verts are available any day in good shape for 3500 with under 100k miles near san diego.

umm... ok.

Anyway, I didn't follow any of what you said very well. I don't exactly get your point. But really, how bad is the damage? Do you know if the frame is damaged? You love the car, I understand, I feel the same about mine

but if I ware rear-ended, or whatever, I'd probably try and find another 7 that has a straight body and bad motor, and swap over what I wanna keep. Or just find another 7 in good condition and part my damaged one.

I had a white convertible 88, motor went bad, and I ended getting impatient and just buying another white convertible 89. I figured I'd just let go of the 88. The funny part about it, is I love both cars the same, and I don't want to sell the 88. But come on, they're the same thing. A 7 is a 7 is a 7. (I'll probaby keep my s4 and port the motor, lol)

Either way, it looks like you'd be spending the same amount of money. If I were doing the work myself, I'd rather swap a motor than fix a damaged rearend. But that's just me.

you can get "new" qtr panels for these things?

The rear of the vert doesn't have a driver's side, and passenger's side quarter panel. It is one piece. And I would buy another one for "parts", but nothing either close enough, or worth paying the money for.

I'm doing two things with one deal-fixing the car myself, and saving my friend some money. As I have stated before, RX or not, a car is a car. A true friend is priceless. I will keep my friend, and still do the car myself.
