#58607, "Is this a good deal?"


          

Ok my cousin is taking auto body in vocational school. He was talkin to me about it today and said they need a car blah blah blah. He said they would put on my body kit, shave the door handles, install the door poppers, fill the holes from my old wing and paint install new one, mold in air ducts if i want them, and paint the car red/silver pearl for $900 bucks. Downside is that i will be without the car for 1 1/2 months. Do you all think this is a good deal?

winter is on its way anyway..not like it gets that bad where u live but i would say jump on it.

"We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war; our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very , very pissed off"

I just talked to him again, he just got home, and he said that they are going to mold the sides on, and that 900 is paying for the door poppers too. So i think imma do it. I found a 1g GST for 800 bucks, needs some interior work, so i think immma go that route lol

um, thats like an unreal deal. normally that cost alone would only put a wing on your car. -turbo wing anyway.

I guess why they are doing it so cheap is because they need a car, and i already have a body kit ordered, so it would be perfect. It's a high school class, so they are all beginners just learning. So im getting a killer deal so everyone says.

yea these guys that are actually going to be doing the work are 2nd year students. My cousin is a first year and he mostly just learns and does some sanding or something lol. I wish i would have taken it when i was in high school.

Umm these are high school students learning on your car. I dunno, but personally I would never let them work on my car. It takes years of experience to paint properly (even "supposed" pros are sometimes pretty bad). Getting all the ripples etc out of the bondo also requires a lot of attention to detail. If they really work hard, maybe they will perfect the body work. But if they are like typical high school students, they probably won't be that picky and careful. I would never let them work on my car unless I was personally there all the time to watch exactly what they are doing. For example, if they just use bondo and no fiberglass to mold your sides, it will crack really easily. Just a warning.
