I was thinking about bondoing, sanding, repaint, etc., but only on roughly 1 sq. ft. of the car. Had a bad dent with multiple creases in it, and I managed to pull them out but it still looks like crap. Should I go for it or just leave it alone? I can post pics if it would help with an opinion.

unless you can find a good body painter that can match the paint exactly you will have a different color spot where the problem is.

Would it be worth it to repair a horrible looking rear quarter?

Bondo sucks. Use all-metal.

^^^Bondo isnt so bad. Personally I use duraglass, tiger hair, etc. It makes life a hell of alot easier when it comes to doing bodywork.

Here are some pics.


Keep in mind that those pictures make the dent look much better that what it really looks like.

Go to a Junkyard, and cut a quarter pannel off another car, cut and weld bingo!!

Yes I did. I have no idea where to even start to weld a panel on and that I'm assuming would need a full repaint, which I cannot afford. So should I leave it how it is until I can afford that, or go with the bondo.

the 1/4 can be color matched no need for a full repaint.

Where do u recommend getting the paint? Any place that has 5n blue mica?

snowball

honestly i dont know, i just know it can be done. someone backed into my dads 80's benz (low miles mint car) the body shop had to weld in some new metal and after paint their was no way to tell where it was hit anymore.
