Big dent on lower quarter panel
I discovered that someone dented my project car and I was wondering what the best way to go about fixing the dent behind the tire also was wondering the best way to fix the dent on the flare...I would like to use very little bondo or better yet none any input will be appreciated

Re: Big dent on lower quarter panel
I had this dent on the passenger side rear quarter (behind the spare tire) on a car recently. My paintless dent guy got it out in about 25 minutes. If you check out the last pic you can't tell it was ever there!

Looks like a base model? Could hit junk yards and get the ground effects from a 91 - 92 RS, that should cover that up, and look good!

Some time and patience with a body hammer and that'll come right out. Plus, if you put ground effects on it it will be covered.

The salvage lot I go to has like 4 or 5 third gens (kinda sad that people just scrap them) but not sure of they have any 91 or 92s thanks for the help...but for the fender flare should I just cut and weld a new one or try to hammer it out as well

I'd always use cutting and welding as a last resort.
