if its that sweet looking car in your av i would fix it.depends on the rest of the car, i mean if its got little dents and scratches all over, maybe just leave it and some day down the track do the whole car.

yeah it is the car in the av.....The problem is that to fix the door and rear quater (both recently kfixed) would cost me 700$ and thats the cheapest i have found. As i am illiterate in the crash repair department i cant do it myself. This 700$ was needed for other things. I'm considering replacing both doors, bonnet and boot with black panels as my mate has a spare celica in his yard with those parts painted. For all 4 parts would cost me 300$...what do u guys think.....

mismatched panels look better than dented one.
plus for under half the price....
you're caught between a rock and a hard place. take the cheaper option.

yeah the cheaper option seems the go but repraying the car wont happen for another 3 months this means driving around with mismatched panels. Should i stay with the dent or replace hmmmm

I would be inclined to get the pannels off your mate but not fit them to the car until they are sprayed to match.
Imagine if you fitted them and another shopping trolley (4wd) backed into... devestating.

i was sorta in a similar situation in my ma61
I was pulled up to turn right at off a main road.
there was this wanker parked in a n/s zone in a little echo, whod run into the store to get something
He comes out meantime
im starting to go, and he just fucken leaps out of the parking spot - obviously left his car going.
So ive gone too far sideways, and to miss a car on the opposite side of the road i had to turn the steering wheel, accidently locked the brakes up and hit a tree...thank fuck it wasnt "that" bad...12 inches further back and i may have been killed
he just drove off...didnt even come back.
