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. kindasad.gif I just need a list of the supplies I need to get this fixed up any help or tip is appreciated thanks. smile.gif

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

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

That's weird because I was hit in almost the same location except on the driver's side 2 weeks ago, but I know who hit me so his insurance will cover the damage. It was about $1200 damage. I feel your pain.

I would get a professional body shop to do the work if you are not well equipped to do bodywork. Your car seems to be in too good of a condition to perform a hack job. Sometimes guys that work at a bodyshop will do "side jobs" and will be less expensive. Just a thought.
