 Last night I backed into these wooden steps pretty bad and messed up my back fender   I was just wondering if the whole fender needs replaced since its seems to be connected to the roof. My cars getting alot of miles on it and im thinking about not getting it fixed and I'm just wondering my options for tring to make it look a little bit better. What all different ways would a garage try to fix it for me |

The quarter panel damage is quite repairable and no stud gun is needed. A good sheetmetal technician can straighten it out. There is access from behind so it can be done with hammer and dolly.
HOWEVER, that area has compound curves so it's not a job for an amateur. The bumper will also need repaired and a new end metal insert. With paint and a new tail light and all, it's not going to be cheap. |
