The front driver’s side pillar is starting to rust a bit… I think I caught it in the early enough stages that it will be able to be fixed so that I prevent further damage. The paint is just starting to bubble up and flake in an area about 2" x 3".
My question is 2fold:
1. does anyone local on this forum still do bodywork? And, if so, would you be willing to take a look and get me a time/cost estimate for different options?
2. if option 1 isnt available, where would be the best place to take this to be fixed? I dont want to spend a small fortune on a car that I just want to last for me to daily drive it for a few years, but I do want to keep it in good shape… essentially, I am looking for a place that would do a solid job while not raping me on the cost.
I also would like to get a small dent on the very front part of my hood fixed. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help guys!
