fixing dent question

there is a huge dent on the back side of the front right fender right where the right door opens up. and there are several more dents on the car as well. the drivers side fender comes out to the left which is making the bumper not align right.

how do i fix all that?

A pic of the damage would be easier to explain what would be needing done.

In all honesty, go to the parts for sale section and just buy a fender. That's what I did.

I got a right-front fender at PnP last week for $17. Took about 15minutes to unbolt from the car.

PicknPull. Fenders are cheap and major dents are not worth the time to repair. Find a used pair.

it depends on the extensity of the dent as well as if you have the money or not to be buying a new or used one although $17 hell even if I didn't have dented fenders I'd buy that...you really need to post some pics of the dents on your car so we can respond more readily...!!
