Accident

Well I just got in my first accident with my 86 trans am. I dented in my left front fender and took some paint off the bumper as well. I was backing out of a spot and looked behind me and I guess I cut the wheel to much and smacked the side of my van at work. I will post a picture of it soon and would like any help in trying to fix it. As soon as I felt my car shake I just blurted out every curse word in the book. I just touched up the chipped off paint with clear nail polish to stop it from rusting. But it looks horrible. The dent I mean. I had a flawless body and I realize how hard it is to find something like that.

I did find a used fender on hawks for 125. Is that the best way to go? When everyone see's the picture in my opinion I believe I can take the dent out but I would like everyone else to judge to. Ok I am gonna go off and cry some more about my car. STUPID STUPID STUPID ME ................


Thanx
Tom

honey it happens to the best of us

i know how you feel cuz the first time i hit someone i couldnt do anything except pace the floor & cry!

it doesnt sound too bad but i know when you have a dent or something you think its the worse thing in the world & when it comes to your car it is!! i know ive been there more then once but all but one wasnt my fault.

sorry to hear about this!!

Someone driving my car turned the wheel too soon coming out of a parking space and dented the Honda Passport next to it. When she realized the car was stuck she just kept hitting the gas, anyway thanks to the rubber bumper cover on the Camaro it just sprang back. $400 worth of damage to the Honda.
