Front fender bowed out a little

Since I have owned the car my 92 RS has a slight bow in the passenger front fender. It isn't quite flush where it meets the door. I believe the previous owner may have tried to jack it in the wrong place. I've studied it over, and I am clueless as to how to fix it. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Re: Front fender bowed out a little

This is the case with our passenger side too.

Yup, floor jack in the wrong place!!

Somewhere, there is a post discussion how to make it better.Sory, I don't recall when or title!!

IIRC, use something to straighten the original jack flange piece, loosen the lowwer fender bolt, & re-align.

Not quite sure on the order to do it. I wish I could remember the post title!

Hopefuly someone will link it or tell how to correctly do it-- I don't like the ugly gap & rub!!!
