Long story short.....

driving: (1997 Formula Firebird)

I missed a deer. In missing said deer, I hit a fence. The only good part of the situation is the fence kept me out of the reservoir. I'd rather have a munsoned quarter panel than a soggy car, or be dead.

Anyway, my body shop guy says bc its a quarter panel it will be tough to bang it out and bondo it good enough to get the new light assembly to go in correctly. He suggests cutting a quarter off a junker and welding it onto my car. sounds like a lot more work.

He said either way it will be more than 2k. I honestly just dont have it in me anymore to deal with people. Should i just pay the money and get it done or try to bang it out and bondo it myself and take it to get resprayed.
