U should see what frankencab did with a door on the single cab it was folded in half, now shuts better than the other that wasnt damaged
Its a well known fact an OG SC will always be worth more than a DC with a checker plate tray, towel rails and PINK plates

I'm thinking the panel beater is more likely an auto assembler then.

All damaged areas considered, I think it's a reasonable start for a twin cab, 2k-3k would be all I,d want to pay, I do have a donor chassis and vents if anyone on dsk ends up with it.

I offered your son 2500 on kc
,,where is the ute?
I would hate to think what a panel shop would quote at a guess 15-20k + just to get it in primer with all the work that needs doing and parts that need sourcing
