Hey 6gc its my turn!

this happened right in front of my house while i was inside studying for my physics midterm... its been a good day -_- . THANK GOD the rear suspension wasn't touched. all the panel gaps look good too so there doesn't seem to be any frame damage... coulda been much much worse.

to bad im a poor college student who can only afford liability though frown.gif at least now i have a chance to brush up on my bodywork skills thumbsup.gif laugh.gif

enjoy:

JDM tails indeed biggrin.gif

You guys think this is something I can tackle myself? Im not gonna lie, I've never done bodywork before but im confident I can teach myself just like everything else with cars.

Im thinking I should take off the rear bumper, inspect the internal damage, then take care of any potential rust issues that might crop up.

After that I think Id bust out the rivet gun and try to pull that dent out and straighten the bumper support.

then bondo

paint id leave to a professional

^I havent done any of that before. I've seen it done and know the process but Its gonna be a new experience.

what do you guys think? pay someone or mess with this?
