Clay and I took the Toyota to a different body shop yesterday to get an estimate. The first body shop’s estimate was high, plus it didn’t include everything they might encounter once they got the door off. Unbeknownst to us, Clay knew the guy at the second body shop (from jiu jitsu). He told us that most body shops aren’t going to touch the Toyota because it’s not going to make them money. He gave Clay some suggestions and told him if they didn’t work, he’d have his guys work on it. Well, his suggestions worked. So we now have a functioning door. The guy recommended not painting it because they would have to paint the whole side to blend in the paint (cost more than the value of the car). So it looks like the girls will be driving a car with character.
