[DML] Re: Body panels: repair or replace???

["cbl1739" <cbl302@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have the Mechanical skills to DIY,then in the long run it 
would be cheaper to replace,since at the same time you will be 
having "spares" if something should happen in the future,or to offset 
your costs,but BEWARE,there is a downside, there are what 
seems "gorillas" that work in the shipping industries,and do not be 
surprised if a panel comes in shipped with Damage(been there got one 
of those)so make sure there is more than enough insurance for 
shipping damage.The other nice thing is that you get "hands on" 
experiance,and learn how to repair your D.

P.S. one thing: If you replace your own panels do the caveman 
thing,and on the backside of the fender(where it can only be seen 
when the fender is removed) scribble YOUR VIN NUMBER with a black 
permanent marker,in case your car ever gets stolen,in the same manner 
as the guys working at the factory did,and as a history marker on 
your car.
