I would get more estimates, and see what different body shops say. When my '85 900 was badly damaged (front and rear) I had estimators from 3 different shops come out to my house to look at it. They each said that they could do the job, but that the car would never feel the same. Estimates were in the 5-7000 dollar range and none of them would guarantee that it wouldn't go considerably over that once they got into it. > >
