thanks alot
and the quater glass needs to be taken off so it might take a few more hours for that.

is that just for estimate time?

OK fixed the link problem.

i havent bought the car yet im still thinking if i should.
i tried to talking him to 200$ dollars for the car explained the damages to him and what i have to get done to fix it.
he didnt want to take the offer because the money he spent on the re built motor.

ill keep on pushing him for 200$. if not ill prob just end up saving up more to get one in better condition.

Im also in a refinishing class its almost my 1yr and a half doing work.
i learned alot and i wouldnt mind spending time on this quater panel for my learning journey lol.
ive never done a quater panel replacement nor using the alingment machine.
maybe i could learn alot this way. take it to the next level.

ok.

how do you guys usually remove quater windows like this?

i looked in the manual it said to use a string and run it under the weatherstriping without damaging the molding.

i saw this tool similar to HF windshield removal
