Arrow Need help with body work in SAN DIEGO!

HI. im stupid.

yah i bought a rx7 with lots of body damage in it with 112k miles. I need someone to repair my body damage to prepare it for a paint job. its mostly on my passenger side from fender to taillight. already have fender, door, mouldings, and taillight for the replaceable parts and just need work on the body work. illl pm some pictiures only if interested. The only reason i wouldn't take it to a shop is the time/labor just to much! i live in Mira Mesa of San Diego.....SOO WHO"S DOWN!!!! $275 what im offering?

you can knock that out yourself.
go in from the trunk and push out the big bumps and then bondo lightly to even out the highs and lows
