The car looks pretty good, maybe a little rust ,but atleast no big dents, and I think you can get a good paint job from Maaco

Anyways, welcome aboard doylerl! Nice looking ride. Lotsa potential. And remember Search is your friend!

Welcome aboard - you'll find many answers with the search function - you can peruse through the interior/exterior mods section to find stuff we've done to our cars and t discover parts that swap over from other cars. Scroll through the Engines section to see what motors and transmissions you can bolt into your little wonder - some are direct bolt in others requite modification and custom brackets

Maaco will do a good job if you do all the prep work. I take all my stuff to a local dealer and if it is prepped/primered and all the trim is off they will spray it for $200 close to maaco's price but a better finished product. I have seen some decent maaco jobs, but it wasn't all maacos work.

Ok, so I went to maaco today, and got an outrageous estimate. For the little bit of rust my car has, and a small dent here and there, they want $787.50 just to fix that. All together for the "cheap" paintjob, they want $1351.44. If I want the door jams and under the hood painted, it will run me $1617.84! I was shocked when they showed me these numbers. I'm thinking of mudding it myself (which I have NO experience at) and using a rattle can! How difficult is to repair rust and dents?

I do my own rust and dent repair...I'm learning as I go. Depends on where the rust and dents are, and how bad they are, as to how hard the repair will be--and what you are willing to live with.

For rust, you can sand it/prime it/paint it, or you can use a paint-over-rust product like POR-15 or Rustseal http://www.kbs-coatings.com/KBS-RustSeal_p_2-18.html

For dents, try getting a bodywork hammer and dowel from a McParts store. Small taps is best. Sometimes a rubber mallet is called for.

Ok, so I figured out how to make a photobucket account, so I will show the rust spots and dents. I tried to circle them in paint if they were not very big, but you can barely see the circles in the pictures.

I did all the prep work before taking my car to Maaco, I removed all the lights and everything else I didn't want sprayed. All they did was spray it. It been about 6-7 years now!

Maaco here in Raleigh NC does a great job and for cheap!
