if i did it id charge you 120 to paint the door and fix the rust( not cutting it out, but traeted properly) and 30 quid if you wanted to blend the colour into the wings

would it be a full door job or can it be done to the bump strip? would it be hard to match? would you suggest getting it blended into the wing?

arden is a shit to match, yu may see a small line as there is no room to blend in that gap between the edge of the door and the moulding, i would suggest blending it into the wing to be safe, as its harder to go back and try and blend it when the door is dry rather than do it together

Try find a passenger side damaged GSi in a scrappy / salvage yard and take the drivers door.

Personally wouldn't get another door as you if you can't find a blue one then you will have toget it painted inside and out and thenpaint quater and wing.
Even if you do get a blue one you will have to get it painted, blend the quater and wing.
To do the job at a bodyshop you would be looking at about £300 ish.

if its in good condition and it dosent need painting, 9 times out 0of 10 you wouldnt have to blend it, just as easy to fix the rust really..depends how picky you want to be

Pete, could get it done at my work for you if you wanted. Pop in for a quote and tell him Graeme reccomended you to him. Fife Accident Repair Centre in Kirkcaldy if you want a quote, I've passed a few folk onto him and they've all been happy.
