I am trying to make a decision on whether to get body work/repair or just buy a body kit for my 1971 240z. It is a lot of work that is needed. At this time I don't want to pay $4500 in body repair. This does not include paint. I am going to buy a new hood because the existing one is damaged. But at $4500 I can possible buy a kit and have it installed before paint. Either way I still don't want to pay $4500 period. As you can see it is to the metal now.
Any ideas would be very helpful. My apologies if the pictures are too big.
I'm in San Francsico bay area (Antioch)
What I mean by kit is, new fenders, panels, and possible door skins.
