ya Jake, i don't know where you came up with those numbers , this is a rough estimate of what i think it would cost at a repair shop
new axle is a 300. bucks by itself,
quarter panel is easily 400 bucks with shipping,
new wheel, 125.00-150.00
side scoop 110.00
lower molding 70.00
wheel well will need to be replaced due to the amount of run\st on that fender 70.00+ shipping
that is new parts 1000+
to install the parts your looking at about 2000-2500 in labor,
plus paint another 400-800 depending on quality and how much they repaint
at a min not including any other parts they need wheel bearings , seals ect your at about 4000.00
of course you could get some used parts but why.
and Ale, a problem you might have is the insurance company might not want to pay 100% since there was a problem previously repaired in a less than professional way.
insurance calls it betterment, when they fix or repair a car to a better condition that it was before a claim.

Wheel well - $45
I could sell him my rocker panel moldings for cheap if he needed them.
Door is around $260
scoop molding- $30
Axle - around $100
Shipping - Free cause I know where to buy.
Still nowhere near 1k. For $300 I would buy a new rear end rather than an axle.

And for ford tooling I could see the 1k price marker cause their prices are crazy high.

You have to keep in mind that body shops WILL NOT use or get used parts. The parts that they get are either remanufactured or brand new. So the prices are going to be up there. I got pics of some damage that cost $1,275 to fix and they still didnt fix it right. Just let me know if you want to see them and I will post them.

I had an accident with my '01 and all they used was "recycled" parts. I had to beg them to replace the used glass with new because it had someone else's SN# etched in it.

I'd say turn it in to your insurance and let them go after him--they've got the resources to do the job right, they'll either get the $ they paid out or they'll suspend the guy's license...be prepared to take him to court if necessary. Hope you can get them to do a good job on getting your car fixed, don't let them total it...they'll want to do that & give you "Blue Book" value & you'll get the short end of the stick.
