I know there are people on this site that do their own bodywork to their car. I'm gonna try to do some of the work myself over the next couple of days. I know that it is not a simple project, but I want to try. Can someone tell me a list of (necessary) things I'll need to buy in order to do it. I have a dent in the passenger rear quarter panel and a couple of dents along the door and front right fender. I'll try to post some pics of the dents I'm talking about.
This could also be a chance for someone to post a How-To article on it. Thanks in advance for the help. |

I had someone look at the car and they told me that there was no frame damage. He's been in the car business for 30 years so I trust him. Believe it or not, the car drives perfect. If I let go of the wheel, it doesn't drift and there is nothing else irregular about how it drives. I found a door at a junkyard for $150 so I'm going to pick that up this week hopefully. There is still some damage at the bottom of the doorframe and the rear quarter panel is in pretty bad shape. When I get some time next week, I'm going to try and tackle this. Thanks for the advice.
