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  at least now i have a chance to brush up on my bodywork skills   enjoy:      --------------------  |

To really do it properly, the rear quarter needs to be replaced (still available from Toyota) or a shop needs to cut out the damaged area and weld in new metal. Coat it with POR-15 (or similar) and repaint. I strongly urge against using bondo as I dont believe bondo is a fix.
