Bodyshop told me $2000+ to fix my rusted door..

Yeah, thats a freakin joke. I went to a friend of a friend's shop in late fall to just repaint the rear quarter and a door and a spot on the other side and he wanted 1400 bux. I had already fixed the rust.. I was like, F---.
Then after having a heart attack, I went to a shop close to my house that is reputable, and talked to the owner, he wanted 625. I let it go through the winter to see if anything would break through again, a little did, where it did before, so it needs some metal because the panel flexes somehow. I went there again today and he said worse case scenario is an additional 200, but probably 150 +625, which will be fixing the little bit of rust on the door, rear quarter and wheel lip underneath there.. and then painting of everything.. Definitely shop around!

You can prob find the same color door at a salvage yard rust free for a few hundred bucks

I'd say you can try it, I've had good luck in the past.. but from my experience on my G, the paint match was nowhere close..and it was from a very well known local paint place..and I got 3 different cans from them. It could be classified as FAIL. Getting mine painted next week.. finally!

I had 2 entire doors replaced under warranty, for rust perforations stemming from the inside of the door, rusting out (at the B pillar).
