Cheapest way to get this repaired (not taking to a shop)

[Two Fowty]

thank you, so i hammer out the body as much as i can, then use the dent puller to get it as smoothed out as possible, then bondo in to get the finishing details, then prime and paint.

EDIT: what if i cant reach the body from the interior? then can i just use the tool all the way?

spoken like a true body man.

you can do it completely with the slide hammer but itl take longer.try to get as much from the inside as you can if you can.

i dont have an s13 so i forgot how you get to those panels from the inside.

The dents near the bumper can be reached from the trunk, but the main dent near the door would require the taking out of the plastic interior and stuff.

Well thanks for all the help, I will be sure to ask if I have any more questions.

yeah pretty much, it wont be tooo smooth with the pull hammer but it will get it to the point where its safe to bondo, Bondo is easy, just make a small batch and lay it on there and use the cheese grader thing after about 10 minutes of bondo drying and take off the extra bondo, I do this cause it saves you alot of time on sanding..

Also when applying bondo on the holes try to use something on the inside of the Quarter panel so the bondo does get all over inside your car, Pretty sure it wont be to bad if you dont cover them up..

But yeah just take you time, youll have to do a quite a few layers but youll have to sand alot and its alot cheaper than any other method out there..

I cant stress it enough, Dont get pissed and frustrated about it, the bondo will always sand off if you put to much on!

Post pics, if you have a problemor just ask one of us, or me

also if you cant reach the quarter from the interior you can use the slide hammer all the way. its just IMO a little easier if you can get some of it pushed out from the inside

Here is the other qp on the other side of the car, quite a bit more scary

What are your opinions on it. Just bondo?





the damage leads down under the bumper, as seen here.

[MySXisSlowerThanUrs]

DAMNNN

umm I would try to pull it out a little more in some spots and than bondo.. Personally i would start on that side first so you get a little use to the slide hammer, it already looks like there is holes there... But yeah honestly as bad as it looks, its fixable and you can make it look decent.

Just took a second look at it and GOD DAMN you got your work cut out for you!! haha

If you want to do it, go for it, and if you dont like the final product, there is always over fenders ... haha

Post pics though if you start and the process

were you the one selling this on kcsr and craigslist? if you bought it for $2k the guy was asking then you my friend got ripped hard.

best bet is to the panels from another car and weld them on.

[MySXisSlowerThanUrs]

who me?

[danielsan]

who me?

no the OP.

Sell this car to someone who will fix those q panels right, and find another car with less body damage. With THAT much work I don't wanna see that car ruined -_-
