Did you re-painted the whole car, or just the repaired/replaced parts??

Yes it has. I found it on May 15; bought it on June 6; and picked it up from the body shop on September 29. The body shop is cheap...not fast.

Did you redo all those air bags too. I understand that can be very expensive. Or you had the option of not replacing the side air bags.
I think you picked a good car to redo. Hit on the side without alot of fender damage. Was the frame totally unharmed too. Did you have to replace upholstery?

The air bags were not that costly; the curtain air bag was $150.15 and the door air bag $137.50. An upholstery shop sewed the panel that the door air bag blew out.
