I'm sure you can get it done for 200-300 dollars at a hack shop. I had 2 door dings pulled for a neighbor a few weeks ago for $200, and that was paintless. I spent 10 years estimating collision repairs at my brothers shop and at our rate (which was standard in our area), I would say to repair...

I think you made the perfect choice. I think it that is a really classy timepiece for anybody old and young. Quote: Originally Posted by Computerpro3 I have made my choice. I decided that at my age wearing a $1000 watch doesn't make sense for the following reasons: 1. Everyone...

I'd say $1,200-$1,600 at a real body shop. Call your local Mercedes Dealer and see who they use, thats where you want to go, trust me. Make sure they use a quality paint like Glasurit, Sikkens or PPG.

Check out Certified Pre-Driven Volvo's which come with a 100k mile waranty. The average life of a Volvo is 18.6 years. I've had Volvo's in my family last 20 years 400k miles. I currently own an '03 S60 and an '04 S40. The S40 is quite peppy when the turbo spools. I'd make sure to check them out...

Good deed for the day is done. You can all expect them soon. Enjoy your projects.

There are only about 20 left so act quick.

Thanks, they look great.

Owl hardwoods in Des Plaines, IL has the best selection, best prices I've ever seen. If they don't have it, you don't need it. I buy all sorts of wood for real cheap. I usually get lots of "cut off's" for pennies on the dollar. Let me know what you need and I'll pick it up next time I go. I go...

Thanks a bunch!! I'm extremely anxious to get them.

Don't get the 35HDRANN, it's prone to corrosion. 35HDRABAU or 35HDRANAU may be better? I haven't given them a chance since my bad experience with35HDRANN
