$49 and hour for bodywork? Is this in a professional shop? Sounds cheap. Or is that just Peugot pricing.

[Midnight Sun]

Eh, I'd say that is about average for Washington. Dunno what rates in Calif are like. Maybe $75/hr?

i'd say the wheel is fucked .... rest doesn't look bad ...is that a turbo-cab? and just what did you hit (other than a curb)?

[Massive Lee]

And nobody yet mentionned that this car deserves to die, it's a Peugeot after all. So, it must be a good day or everyone had a blowjob this past weekend... ;-)

[der affe]

^ agreed
labor is $75 an hour around here too.

unless it is a 205 or clio gt crush it.

no thanks lee. this car has been in the family since new, my dad bought it, and I inherited it. Great car, great memories. Grew up with it.

No, I just hit a curb. My steering rack was going bad, I underestimated it, starting loosing PS fluid rapidly. This happened due to my negligence. Ironically, the day it happened was the first day I had driven it in a month. Yeah wheel is toast. I have a chunk of the rim sitting on my bookshelf.
Also, its a non-turbo ftl...well actually ftw, as it doesn't crack heads periodically.

Thanks for the incite regarding the procedure, however I'm afraid the hourly rate round' here is way higher :(
This will be the only thing I will have done by a shop. Rest I am fully capable of...well this and the cost of parts, which I just ordered! :D

[snitzer]

good god...you can still get parts? where at ?

[freeride53]

All over the place. Im on message list for the pcna on yahoo grps. A lot of owners/ distributors still out there

[McGyver]

i would try blunt for parts.
