: I am just trying to get some suggestions. I am very interested in getting some body repair done on my mav. The doors are in pretty bad shape, along with some other minor spots. My problem is that I don't have a lot of money to spend or equipment/facilities for doing auto work. I went shopping around...and my two options for shop work seemed to be pro. restoration (abt $1000 per door done right, didn't even ask about changing color from crap brown) and Maaco. My goal is to fix as much of the rust as possible, paint the car black, redo the vinyl top, and replace the LDO side moulding, perhaps with chrome strips or something. I don't need professional quality restoration, but I want something that will look nice for a while. What work could I do fairly easily myself, and what suggestions does anyone have for what I should do about the rest (how bad IS Maaco)??
: Thanks for any help I get, I love the body style...just need to fix it!
