    I am afraid we at Repairpal are not able to give "body work" estimates but body work always need a visual exam anyway to access the extent of the damage nearly every body shop gives free estimates but they need to see the car first hand.

    Ask a few shops-it is,what it is,no set labor rate from a manual.You get involved with possible damage to the pillar,alignment issues,transfering lock mechanisms,and the wiring harness.
    It's the work beyond the obvious few bolts for each piece that adds up.
    A 2002 Taurus,and I have one myself,is getting to be no more than a 1000 dollar driver.
    It may be better to consider another car,as buying a door and fender,and the labor involved,might come close to eqaulling that,and the junk value of cars is up there close to 300 with metal values.
