1998 ford expedition crumpled metal

[cleaningman94]

Well today I was driving out of some woods and had a encounter with a tree. It crumpled the metal and the worst part is its my brothers truck and he doesn't know. I need to get this fixed on a budget what would you recommend.

look on craigslist for people in your neck of the woods who are parting out their expedition....... might be able to get parts cheap that way

Post a pic of it if you can. That would help to see which parts you are looking for.

Yeah I kinda looked none I could see but its the rear quarter panel on the drivers side so its huge and u would have to be able to weld it on. I need to fix it my july 31st because thats when he comes home. I will post pics tmrw its to dark to post any.

going to be spendy! in 12/2010 girl ran a stop sign and tboned me in the right rear door/QT panel..all said and done it was close to $6,000. the QT panel and door were taken from a junk yard and it was still a crap ton!

There's a second gen being parted out in Milwaukee's craigslist. Don't know how close you are though. Good luck with the repair.
