depends how bad it is. any paint missing? any rust? just a slight dent?
The best way would be to hammer it out using like a rubber mallet or some ****, something soft. Take out that carpeting in the trunk, im sure theres a way to get underneath the dent on that area of the car.
pics would be great instead of this vague useless assed post.

The dent king is useless and leaves glue on your car. I would not recommend it to anyone. if you cant pop it out with a plunger, the dent king will just make it worse.

here what body shops use
spot weld pins w/dent hamer kit
http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...7&storeId=6970
plain dent hammers are 10% of the price of the spot weld kit 19.99-29.99 but require you to drill a hole where the dent is.

I just got an 87 TII. Body is in perfect shape, EXCEPT for a friggin dent right on the back where you described...
Maybe I should try Ding King, or maybe just try using a plunger...
how much would a shop charge for removing something like that?

haha I have had some like this. The metal is very hard back there. Go from the inside and start to beat it out with a hammer. You might want to use the backside of a blunt object and hit with a dead blow metal hammer to pull the crease or lower portion out. After that switch to a bump hammer and a dolly, start to bea the metal back into shape. Remember first in last out. Then smooth with body filler.
You can also use a stud puller or a puller with a plate you have to drill a hole for the plated puller.

Go to walmart, and buy some dry ice. Use gloves! Plug in a hair dryer, and hold the dry ice up to the dent until it pops out, assuming it isn't too bad. I saw a write-up on this somewhere's on the forums...I'd read it before you take my advice. LOL
