My ED6... weekend racer on a budget

[M.Doban]

Okay, so I just got back from taking my car up to the shop. He said it would definitely be over $400 to finish up the final touches on the body work, paint and blend, as well as repaint the lower quarters because they are a bit off color (no blending, just throwing paint on). To me, "definitely" makes it sound more like $600+.

Does this sound like too much? Have I gotten over my head? I have never paid for anyone's work before much less body work.

He said he would call tomorrow after he looked at it more to give me a quote. Hopefully it's not as much as I'm vibing or I'll go babies.

I (obviously since my car is primer) haven't dealt with body shops so I'm not sure but just decided to drop in and say I love your car so much!

[SheaMoose]

If that shop is your only option, and if it's worth the money to have a perfectly clean car, then go for it.
But if there are other body shops around, ask them for a quote as well.
Maybe see if you can work for him to help the price?

Just don't go babies, man.

[M.Doban]

It kind of is now as my car is already there. But I'll wait and see what he says tomorrow.

Unfortunately I won't have time to work for him, but that is a good idea, thanks.

But yeah, I mean, I do want to eventually have a perfectly clean car so... and also in the end it's just money... I can make more. I don't need much on hand. It's not like I have a girlfriend or anything. *cries softly*

[SheaMoose]

I think it's a pretty fair price anyways.

Hunting the white buffalo is more expensive than a girlfriend

Do you watch adventure time or do you just unintentionally reference it? a lot..

[Nick475]

Adventure time is awesome. I like regular show. I like them. They are good.

People who don't watch adventure time or regular show are CHUMPS.

[MommysLittleMonster]

For $400, you got a deal.

I hope that guy does good work. Or I'll slash his tires.

UGH. True...

SAME. Dude, you just got so much cool points. I actually have a Reg Show t-shirt from the pilot when they were singing "don't stare at our crotches while we synchronize our watches!"

It's bazoobs, it has arms.

I've seen them all too.

It's time for you to go away.

Alright, kids. The last of the pictures from the meet came in. These ones are from Kyle Eagleton. I'm really freaking digging the roller shot.

These pictures are the first time I've gotten to see what my car looks like moving. A momentous occasion to say the least. Super bomb dude, Zack (w201e34) sitting shotgun like a boss.



(This isn't me idk who this guys is)





As for the car, it's still sitting at the shop untouched and unquoted as of now. Hopefully it get's worked on soon.

In that 600+ish quote, does that include the dent in the d/s door? Didn't seem like it did. That is a small dent and not my imagination, right?

[Queef|Chief]

I like how this is going

It did not. And yes it is a small dent. It was there when I got the car :/ I can actually ask about it though as I hate it. The car is far from perfect though and I would at one point like to go over the whole body and respray so I don't want to get too carried away right now. If you look at the front of the driver's fender you can see it's a little wrinkled. It's hard to tell in person but stuff like that bothers me.

Well thank you, good sir!


HAHA. I just noticed that in both of my rolling shots my face is perfectly covered by something. I'm so mysterious. Ya'll have no idear what I look like.

[Smeeeb]

This car is so perfect. I **** life.
