Body Repair, Hit N Run.... :/ Options

[Remy]

Well a couple of weeks ago I was involved in a hit-n-run at the mall, waited 3 weeks now to see if they caught the person that ran into my car so far no luck....took it to ABRA the other day they wanted 1500+ to get it repaired I was like....I'll pass. What do you guys think I never done auto body before but would rather learn and use the rest of the money to upgrade my suspension. You guys think it would be easy to get this patched up ?? I don't even know where to start. I just need a list of the supplies I need to get this fixed up any help or tip is appreciated thanks.

As you can see the wheel arch is pushed in too....

The dent was bigger but I managed to pop the big dent in the middle out.



I know I gotta wash those damn salt off my car.

honestly

if its more than 1/4 of an inch deep and ur gonna throw fill in it, it will blister and crack. If more than 1/4 use short stranded fibre glass, then fill then putty (for a smooth finish). If you have a unispotter, go around your crease and slowly pull it out, once pulled to approximate pre-accident shape then use your fibreglass, sand it with 40 or 80 grit, then put filler then sand with 120, then 220 then 320 then put putty on and sand with 320. Be carefull when you sand because if not carefull you will see everything once clear coat is applied to the car as clear coat magnifies.
