Haha no thanks on the overfenders but okay everyone has agreed thats its fixable so a new question, How much do you think it'll cost? And i understand some places charge more or less its just i got a quote today they said $1100 yikes but the place is known to overcharge

See if you can Do it yourself, most 240 owners are notorious for doing it yourself, and if you dont feel comfortable doing it yourself see if you know someone that wont charge your as much...its a fairly easy spot to get to, and $1100 for that to get fixed seems a little high. In my opinion i would take it to them as a last resort. Just putting in my 2 cents which really doesn't matter. :dblthumb:
