Repair to convertible roof?

-- Chuck

 

good catch, maybe taking it on and off for replacing the quarter panel/trunk?

 

lol That'll buff out. PDR could never fix that.

 

Get at least a second estimate. The second set of eyes on the car may reveal some additional damage / issues not spotted by the first shop. Then compare the two. Post on your Northern California boards if anyone has had experience with the shops.

Where are your parents in all of this?

 

Lol My moms a nurse can’t bring her into this, she’s already busy as is.
dads unemployed and lazy.
alrighty, these quotes were based off pictures so definitely going to have to go in person. I have two shops in mind.

 

Geez, I missed you were a juvenile. Goes a long way to explaining the wreck (we've all done it). Amateur messing with the roof will induce leaks into the trunk.

Guys, he is 23 years old. A grown man. Give the guy a break. I nearly did the same thing at age 68 with loads of rear wheel drive and manual transmission experience. We all make mistakes. At 23 I venture a guess that OP can do a lot of things a whole lot better than I can. He is trying to save an s2k. He deserves praise for that. I expect he has learned a major lesson, just as I did.

OP - if you fix the car, and I hope you do, check the wheel lug nut seats for damage from those lug nuts, and get some OEM lug nuts on there. The prior post is correct. Those lugs are almost certainly not proper for the wheels. Also, become a member here and spend some time reading. There is a ton of excellent information about these cars in these pages.

 

That’s pretty derogatory. And clearly you don’t know the definition of juvenile. I suggest trying harder. Let me guess, old timer disconnected from reality? Bingo!

 

I apparently misinterpreted "mom and dad" references to "living at home" to being a kid ... Not sure how that's derogatory since we've all been there with our own vehicle experiences.
