Hi guys, I,m currently working on a project for my evo build. I bought this shell but it require some body work. I checked with local shops but some of them dont want to work on a shell instead of a working car, others quote me a big amout money. So I'm here for some help. What do u guys think a resonal price for fixing somthing like that. Do I need to replace a new inner side of frame rail(one of the shop asked) cause of the wrinkle of the inner side, others say just pull the rail straight with the frame rack. What do u guys think? thank you all for the help

 

honestly doesn't seem bad compared to what happened with mine

 

That doesn't look bad at all I thought it was worse. I am sure if you keep looking you will find someone who can take care of this for you.

 

i know a shop here in Virginia that would knock that out in a day or two. My truck got rear-ended and bent the rear beam. Given it's only a Ford Ranger but the other person's insurance covered it and I was in and out with paint and everything in like 3 days or so. Obviously you don't need paint but if you were closer I'd say go there. But as someone said previously, it doesn't look that bad. You could probably put the motor and drive-train in there and have it running and driving without the body panels and someone would be more eager to do the work on a running car I'd say.

 

I recently had damage like that. Not exactly, but they had to repair the rail under the fender. They pulled the damage out and strength welded it. I think it was like 700 bucks. Right by the strut tower. If they replaced what was there, the estimate ballooned to a couple thousand. Obviously, repair shops are different, but I would say at least anywhere from a few hundred on up. Mine was 90 bucks an hour labor. Your damage is similar to mine and all together the body shop was about 6800 bucks total. 55 percent of being totalled.
