    Default Paint and Body Work

    Hey guys I'm new to this forum and Miatas. I just picked up a '96 for $500. The only problem with the car was the RR wheel bearing and the check engine light was on. I fixed those, rebuilt the brakes, flushed all the fluids, new tires and picked up a hardtop. The only problem with the car now is the severe hail damage. Does anyone have any references for a cheap body shop in the Metroplex? Like I said the car was $500, so I'm not looking for a 3K job but someplace that will do a decent job. Thanks.

    Thanks everyone.

    Hey Greg, I tried to PM you but I guess I'm not allowed to do that yet. I know exactly were your shop is on S. Hulen. Could you give me your contact info and I'll bring it by for you to look at?

    This thread is perfect timing. I just bought an insurance claim from a friend of mine. It's a second owner, low mile, Amsoil from new, babied car that received a new softtop and the 60k mile service three months ago. But, it was hit on the rear quarter and I'll be looking at either getting it repaired right, and putting it back on the street, or getting it done cheap, and stripping it down for a track car. The hit was hard, but it was above the bumper and the damage was localized. There's no buckling in front of the wheelwell and the door opening is intact.

    The strap holding down the trunk lends a little old world English charm. I say, keep it.

    Yep, insurance claimed $4000 to repair the damage and totaled it.
