Black95MustangGT

Well last night a horrible incident happened to my car!

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/catala.../ph//my_photos

The whole passenger side from the fender to the spoiler is scratched, just 1 big single scratch which is also a dent. I probably will need to replace it or take it to a body shop..

Which is cheaper? Im only 17 and i dont have that great of a budget! i work at pizza hut and get about 300-400 every other monday. ( i will be searching for another job )

Should i just buy all the panels and replace the whole side? Or just take it to a body shop and let them fix the dents?

I know if i do it myself, it will cost a paintjob along with it( if i dont find the right color parts )

I know if i take it to a auto body shop..it will be really expensive also.


Or, does anybody live in Virginia who wants to help me =D!

Well at least that gives you a reason to swap those tail lights for some cooler looking 96+ ones. The stock 94-95 tails look so dainty and scream "Please don't hurt me" in my opinion. If money is rough to get (I'm in the same boat as you) I would just fix your tails, buy your new mirror, buff/touch up the scratch/dent, and take it to a body shop later.

How did it happen? Looks like you were backing up and snagged something along the way, but dang haha why did you keep on going till it took your mirror off! [&:] (If that's what happend)

i was in my house and the car rolled back ( i guess the ebrake failed ) and i didnt put it in first..thats my fault.

but, i like my tail lights! im keeping them.

WoW I've never heard anyone say they liked them.

I see you haven't taken my adviced and checked ebay

take it to the local tech school and let them do the work. most of the time they can do it for less than half of what a body shop would cost and they get the experience of doing the real thing

I like the 94-95 tails better too. It's what separates the men from the boys. Hey man, where you at in Va.? Im in SW Va. Theres a yard here with like 25+ mustangs. I know theres a black one with the parts you need also. I can check it out for you and take some pics. It's a 4bangers but the parts are the same. You'll be better off fixing the door than buying a new one but I'd get the rest of the stuff at a yard.

hell yeah man. I'm in Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area, hell yeah man you will be helping me out if you can find some more for me.

I may be going there tomorrow. Ill see whats good on the black one. They usually cut me good deals on parts, since I'm a regular. Heck, they know me by name im there so much. They just let me walk back in there I get what I want. Comes in handy too. Tail lights at this place are gone though. Every mustang there had had the tails stripped already. We can take care of that too though
