Weeeelll.. there are 3 options you can do here..

1. Take it in and get it professionally done.2. Buy a Dent Puller, Bondo, some resin, primer, paint.3. Find a friend or family member who has knowledge of how to do this, get them to do it.

Since you want to do it yourself, I personally say go nuts. It's fun to learn from doing. Try out number 2, go on youtube and watch some "How to: Bondo" Movies. The quality isn't up to date but the technique sure is.

Good luck!

Don't bondo that hole man. Serously, go get it professionally done, unless you're willing to cut out and weld up a new section and repair it the right way.

The big dent needs to at least be pulled out. Usually, to do it professionally that whole rear quarter panel is replaced.

The idea of body work is to use as little 'bondo' as possible.

If you're keeping the car for a long a** time, cut it out, overfenders./droolthat'd look pretty sick IMO. Overfenders are like 200 non shipped on decent sites I think. Comes in pairs so you won't have just one side covered.

i agree with doing it yourself,pop the dent out, sand it down and bondo it. but bondo is like a bikini, less is more. the more coverage you have the less impressive it will turn out.
