Hey guys, I just bought a 93 180sx about a month and half ago. I was driving to school one morning on the freeway and I hit black ice. Basically I damaged my rocker panel, destroyed my side skirt, dented the rear fender and door. I am not replacing the rocker panel, the dealership has quoted me 800 to pull the rocker panel back out and coat it and also fix the fender dent. I do know dealerships are expensive but i just needed a ballpark of how much it will be. I found a used door from a s13 coupe, will it fit my hatch? Are the fenders interchangeable also? If you guys have any suggestions of how I should fix this, it will appreciated. I want my baby looking clean again. Thanks :)

The doors are interchangeable (I'm running hatch doors on my 'vert for instance), the fenders however won't be. You'll need to find a hatch if you want a full replacement.

$800 for all that isn't horrible, but you should always shop around and not settle for the first quote.
