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.

^^^ lol you two are funny you guys said the same thing my co-workers said. All of you have a good point and yes I've heard body filler can crack on you if done improperly. All the shops I went to said its either they do all the work or they do nothing at all, because they won't be able to guarantee the quality if they pop it out only. I was thinking about taking the whole pass side interior out where the dent is and go at it with a slide hammer maybe I can see if I can get most of the dents and crease out ?? I don't know what a unispotter is lol I don't know how to use fibreglass too and not sure where I can find it. Thanks for all the input.

Edit: Forgot to say surface rust is starting to form on the exposed metal mostly the top one so thats why I want to get this fix as soon as I can I don't want speed holes lol
