Funny Door Panel Story
So, I decide that I want to do the fibreglass resin upgrade to my door panel fabric! Yay! I decide to go to the auto wreckers to get a spare panel to work on just in case I screw things up royally! I get there and the guy shows me 4 panels, the last being perfect, mint condition! So now we get down to pricing! He says you know how much these go for brand new right, I of course agree with him, he says ya, they go for about $200 CDN. He then goes and tells me that the insurance companies pay approx. $180 CDN for a used panel!!!
SO this just goes to show you, choose your wording carefully, cuz in all honesty, that was the only place I went to, and I really don't know how much a door panel goes for!!!
