wrecked truck

[bigcountry]

i had a 2007 ranger sport model now after today i need a new fender front bumper with fog lights and new grille and headlight does anyone know how hard it is to fix or how expensive it will be to have it fixed i have done body work before so its not a big deal if i have to do it i will have pics up but the truck is at a body shop for estaments

just remember junk yards are your friend

but around here they dont have alot of new vehicles so finding 07 body parts is going to be a trick

can you order from ford? are you interchangable with 09's and whatnot?

 

[bigcountry]

i could order from the stealership but that would be very expensive i might as well have a body shop fix it for the price ford would want for the parts

 

[mattpresley]

Thats true. alot of members here have parts for sale. u outta post a want ad in the sales section

 

[oldjohnny]

Certi-fit. They have some very cheap stuff.

Don't forget to compare prices on-line and then start buying. Only go to the dealer for parts that you can't find at body parts stores.

what i found out today was it will be close to 3 grand if not a bit more to fix the truck cause ford used aluminum body panels so it cost a little bit more for them

just wait for this new catalog from LMC truck

well got my truck back from the body shop today and wow all i can say is a drunk man could have done a better job for less money and it would have come out the same if not better. When they re painted the hood they left bubbles in the paint, next it takes both hands to open the driver side door,next there is a scratch that goes to the primer on the door handle that wasnt there the time of the wreck, next the door doesnt seat properly so it is quiter with the window down and i have this HUGE stain in the driver seat and i cant figure out what it is it looks like some one pissed themsleves while sittin in my truck oh and one last thing my head lights are not even one is pointing up and the other is pointing down

So you're not accepting that right? You're going to bitch at them till it's fixed right?

That's crap.

 

[bigcountry]

no im not going to accept it i paid 4grand to have it fixed RIGHT not half arsed its stupid and the sad thing is the only thing they didnt have to paint nor really do work to was the fender it came from ford and it was colored matched to the truck so all they had to do was put it on thats the only things thats in great shape

 

[bigcountry]

that is the stain in the driver seat

that is the scratch on the driver door handle i could get the pics from the bubbles on the hood to come out

 

[Chris.S.]

That is lame, I'd be so mad.

 

[bigcountry]

oh im beyond mad im going back tommrrow and they will fix my truck after how much i paid to have it fixed they can fix it for free
