I need a door ASAP

[Mickyblue]

Ok, in the picture below is what my dad did with his mercedes, and its coming time to when someones gonna get the dent out and repaint it... its gonna cost minimum $600, just for the driver door, and to me that sounds like alot.

So i was thinking, if i can find the drive door from a gen 3 camry off another car, like a parts car, or sold seperatly, and that way maybe save 300$, just use the door panel and electonics from the old door, and hopefully the door should line up perfectly... what do you guys think? and does anyone know of a place i could look for a replacement door? plus i'm looking for the taope or whatever its called color thats in good shape... thanks alot, i'd appreciate it.

I don't live in your area but check out junkyards. Use car-parts.com to locate them.

I have a dent like that on my driver side, but much worst and its been on there for over a year now. I got the car this way and I'm too broke it get it fixed. I BEEN looking for a door ever since but no luck. I'll probably end up buying a door skin from the dealership, cost around $250-300 then have a shop put it in, and paint it. Should be cheaper than actually repairing it.

I was also quoted minimum of $600.
Good luck.

I had mine's left rear door replaced for $2400 (hurried woman + F150 = huge flippin dent). Almost had the car filed totalled since I bought it for $3700.

I highly advise against getting a dent fixed only because it's not worth the cost. Check the local junkyards for doors. I must warn that the colors won't match 100% exactly, but you can get as close as 90%. I had my rear passenger side door replaced about a month back. I got mine at a local Pick 'n' Pull for $30 and had my mechanic install it for $40. Now the car looks better than ever.

hmm well i got it fixed for 250$ from a friendly hispanic man, refered by a friend, only problem was he didnt tell me whether to have the son or the dad do it, so i had the dad do it, kinda a mistake, because his definition of perfection is, "no dent" well, a slight ding instead has been left in its place, oh well, and he got a slightly darker silver color compared to what it comes with from factory, but i'ma get an abrasive and light abrasive clay bar and do some polishing tricks i got up my sleeve...

i hope the pigmenty paint that dried is the clearcoat cuz i hope to bring some of that down and make it flat as if i'm looking into a mirror... sooo wish me luck... but it took him 2-3 hours compared to 4 days at a body shop, no rental car, and cost between 600-1200 bucks...
