Default Body Work estimate? Help...

From knowledge or expericene, what do you think this will cost to repair, and repaint?







I can either have this one repaired, new fender and painted, or a junkyard GGP fender swap.

Leaning towards the swap, but it's a rare find...

I'm in Bradenton.

I can get an OEM GGP fender off a salvage car from CA shipped for $275, and put it on myself... think I'm gonna do that. Versus getting a new fender, paint, labor fee.

Where do you live? If in Texas, come to my shop. 200USD for repair and 260 for the new fender.
