Just hit a deer need some help
1000-1200 parts are not expensice at all on fbodys well at least not here where I live. I've bought a door at pick n pull here for $50 bucks and a hatch on Craigslist for 120 with tinted glass. No wing tho. But I saved my quarter panel. Labor was 700 with paint
They do not make factory quarters anymore will have to get a used one and have it cut off and put back on or repair yours. I'm working on one as we sorely and it has 21hrs of labor on it becouse we could not find an new or used one.
How bad is yours hit. If you break off the sail panel and take a good drill and 5/16 or 7/16 drill bit should not be to hard to get off. The yard might even cut the whole quarter off for you

The car I'm working on is just the quarter panel and r&i the bumper and Berger panel and tail lights and its almost 1800 all labor no parts. Its going tone a lot more than 2k you will have over 1k in used parts

iim going to be doing all the labor myself over the winter when im laid off, so im not really worried about that part just the parts. the quater is pretty bad, right next the the door handle on the passenger side is where the deer hit. its a pretty small v in that part that flares out to the whole quater, its def gonna be some work ill try the drill and pull out method first just to see what it will look like thx for the tip!

professional body repair shops quit drilling holes in panels a long time ago!if you must,once you get the dents pulled,put some fiberglass over the holes first ,they sell it at oreilleys,use the dyna hair,it mixes like body filler.then use body filler on top of that.if you put body filler over the holes it will absorb moisture,rust,and fall out later on.i love going behind backyard bodymen that sell patched up cars to people and their repair falls off,i tear their *** up redoing it crrectly.
I have the maxi 2 dent puller best tool I've ever bought. If you have to drill holes you can fill them with panel bond same as v86speed was talking about with the fiberglass
