chris,
my 1600 had a hit in the left hand front; one panel beater
suggested doing only a quarter cut, the other a full half cut. they
said if done by someone reputable, the result will be stronger than
the original (but obviously this costs!)
the guy suggesting the quarter cut said if i did all engine bay
removal, unstitching of panels, and supply of parts, the work would
be $1000-$1500. same deal with the other guy but with the half cut
was more like $2000-$2500. spose these figures arent too bad
considering the work required to straighten everything else, ensure
new work is straight, painting etc, but i decided $2500 could be
better invested in starting a car again.
regards andrew
