received my estimate today
The total for all the damage done was $770.63, I will be pounding out the spare tire well myself, and probably just putting in a metal plate with sheet metal screws with caulk to seal up the rip in the metal. I will also be doing the lower oil pan myself, assuming this isn't too hard a job(is it??). the exhaust is perfectly driveable, but does have a couple dents. I'm not completely sure what to do with this, but i think the money would be better spent on the front end and new tires. The adjust told me that my car looked better than a 1995 lexus he had just evaluated. I thought that says alot about the benz vs. lexus debate. All in all i think i'll be able to fix the car for about 100 dollars plus alot of my time. The only concern i have is with regard to the oil pan, and i'm hoping one of you will be able to help. The oil plan has been flattened quite a bit, but there are no bulges or things of that nature, the dip stick is not bent, and my oil pressure is fine. Oil level is also fine. Do you think the oil pan can wait a while(till the car gets home) or should i have it done up at school(and pay for labor, ugh!!!!!) thanks for all your help!
