The basic story is, As my title states wot i am i dont need 2 say it again, but coming 2 work this morning back end my side went into middle motorway barrier the rear quarter now has a serious indentation of the barrier and the bumper has some battle wounds. No damage 2 my rear light though. My question is can the rear quarter be fixed as it is a coupe? Please can anyone help? I will post pics later! Thanks, Paul.

I dont see why not, a decent bodyshop should be able to sort it for you. Is the wheel and suspension ok?

Pics please!!!!

yea everything else is fine just bodywork damage. I just didnt know if it was like the main chassi at the rear!?

im on my phone at the mo so unless u want me 2 send them by phone ull have 2 wait until l8r! Lol.

Your welcome to come (with angle grinder in hand) and cut off what you need off mine

can this damage be fixed with a panel replacement or anything like that? It is dented from where the ariel comes out and around the light?

As promised here are some pics!!!!

a really good bodyshop might be able to hammer that out, depends on how much the metal has streched. Would be a lot cheaper than replacing the whole pannal

yea thats what i was thinking, i didnt know if it was a major problem on the second picture you can see best where the panel meets the bumper its crushed right up!

decent panel beater will pull that out and then hammer it straight as he can and filler is your friend ;)

thats an easy fix, ive seen my mate beat panels out that looked as if it would need replacing, its a matter of getting the crease and knocking it back which in turn will pull out other bumps and dents

ok cheers everyone, initially not as bad as i thought, hopefully. Although i dont have the best of luck!

hey if it wasnt for bad luck i would have no luck at all lol, stick in bud

That will repair easily bud, i do worse than that most days , just remember there are panelbeaters and there are people who call themselves the same but are just bodge artists , always go to reccommended place with a good reputation , never just the cheapest .

And which are you?? :p :rofl:

ok guys thanks for everything, my bro is a sprayer so shouldnt have a problem with that will just need the right code, and im taking it 2 his work 2day so an estimator and a panel beater can take a look.

thats what i like to see, you won't regret keepin it

it was never in doubt that i was going 2 keep the car. i love it was too much! going down there at around 3 so will know then.

yep i know what ya mean about lovin these cars :D

ok they had a look and i think i got a good quote. £300 +vat! What do you think?

That'll fix easy enough as other have said. What I want to know is, is that dick Whitington on the Way to the Panto in the background? :slap:

 

Nice pins anyway.

Look at these

After

Feel sorry for you mate. :cry:

 

Maybe it's time to fit a wide arch kit, just a thought. ;)

Bad Luck- easy repair- interesting tho as not the first time this cars been repaired in the same place- plenty of filler showing through!

 

Good Luck
