Door Hinge/Check Repair

[FDMatt]

Hey guys, my aunt decided to move my car while my brother and I were out and ended up backing into the side of our porch with the door open The hinges are bent to hell and the door check just completely broke off but luckily I can still lift it up and get it to close so I can get around and what not. I went to a local body shop and they quoted me at right under 400 to get it fixed, hinges replaced etc., problem is the guy can't source the hinges or the check.

So I went on Craigslist and found an Eclipse parts car not too far away, only problem is I've no clue what to offer the guy for the hinges/check other than what the shop quoted me. I wouldn't be surprised if he was unwilling to part with just those either and insisted on selling the whole door either.

Can anybody shoot me some figures to work with? Thanks a bunch.

When I parted out my first car I sold the entire doors with mirrors/glass/hinges for $125 each. If he'll go for just the hinges I'd offer $20 or something. Your best bet would be the junkyard, they'll only be a few dollars there

Call the guy explain your issue and see what he says, might be a nice guy wanting to help a fellow DSMer if he sounds like he wants to make a fortune on a parts car, there are hundreds of half torn apart DSMs on CL keep looking, more will pop up.

If its a 2g I have a talon I'm disassembling right now for parts and the shell is going to the scrap yard, if you pm me your address I will send you the hinges. I'm not sure if I can help you with the check unless it Is for the passenger side because the drivers check is missing and I don't know if they are the same.
