Help

Also...if theres anyone in town here in lafayette thats a big enough buick enthusiest and would be willing to. This is my first time doing body work...so once I get the car running...which I hope to be by this fall.. I was wondering if there would be anyone around Lafayette that would be willing to help me Do some of this body work and show me how. I really would rather learn then just put the car in a shop somewhere and have them do it for me.

You could shop in the junk yard for any door or fender? Another GM car uses the same doors. Or mine are already the painted. Depends on what you are doing.

To be honest...im looking to do this for like 100 dollars at a time...because im only making 250 a week...and my department...was just sold to brenneco...so im getting ready to do a job transition...which will suck..but I may get a pay raise outa the deal. So for now, Im looking for old used scratched up doors and fenders, as long as its not dented or rusted. The reason im looking for the parts is because my car is a regal limited and the bottoms of the doors have completely rotted out...and both fenders have been buckled in.
By the way...the 240 for one fender not to complain,but I can get Fiberglass non-painted fenders...both of them for a total of 270, just to let you know.

Doors

Ok I believe the fenders are taken care of...
Now, can someone list what other cars, have the same size and shape doors as my 84 buick regal limited
I dont care about the limited trim
I just want to go junk yard hopping for cheap good condition doors.
I know the Olds cutlass and the Old Monte's were close, but I wasnt sure if they would work with the regal or no.
I dont think the monte doors would work...the bumper line follows from the bumper...down the whole side of the car on the monte...and its larger then on the buick and wouldnt look right. So what doors off of what cars would be a exact match/ replacement of buick regal door
I do believe though Cutlass doors would work...am I correct?

doors

A cutlass or regal door will work fine on your car. you might have to change out the moldings and trim....

 

[TrndAssassin2]

Im stripping the car of the trim, I love the trim on the limited, but I hate it, because of the trim I have to replace both doors and the passenger side rocker panel....it sucks lol.
