Bodyshop #2....
The problem I have is NO ACCESS to a body shop or related equipment. If I had that, my car would have been done a while ago. I don't have a welder, or the confidence, to hang quarters. The doors & deck lid are a no-brainer granted, but it's everything else I'm lost. My cousin owned a bodyshop, but got caught up in, shall we say.... a LEGAL issue involving insurance fraud (which was never proved...) and he was advised by his lawyer to surrender his repair shop license before it was pulled from him, making it easier later to re-apply. He also sold off all equipment for legal fees with the lawyer. Where he's working now they do wham-bam insurance repairs. NO resto work. Naturally, I'm screwed...
Besides, you know the old saying about working for friends & family....
