So this is a side of my bird i have always been afraid to show others. The car has flawless interior, and the drivetrain and motor are all new. But,The cars previous owner beat the crap out of it. Drove it through a ton of fallen trees, smashed into an elderly woman while he was drunk,and hit many other things. The driver side fender is trash, the Sub frame is bent to crap, and the part im unsure about are the rear quarter panels. The driver side is completely trashed,but its such a big deal to replace im considering just bondo-ing it the best i can. A part of the Wheel well is bent in really far. And theres a TON of deep scratches. Not to mention how the bottom near the rear bumper was pushed(dented) in a good 3-4 inches. And yes im embarrassed to show that the whole car is covered in touch up paint. I had first got the car and i had no idea on how to treat something like that. So being a kid, i tried to hide all the damage.
The passenger side quarter is just covered in gravel marks. The retard did a burnout IN GRAVEL the day my parents picked it up. Destroyed the back. The sail panel also has a dent where the body line is. Also,the passenger fender is pretty nice,just a few nicks here and there i can take out. So whats your guys's opinions? Im lost on this and i plan on starting the work in Winter. And the hood is demolished as well, but im getting a WS6 hood for christmas so no worries on that. Thank you guys

So heres what im thinking. New fender(s), Straighten out the subframe, new rear bumper, and pounding out and bondoing rear quarters? Or if one of the members on here could weld on a new rear quarter thatd be awesome.

 

looke like just a bunch of scratches and gouges. i dont think i can see a single dent or crease in any of the pics. if thats the case, a little bondo work will smooth everytihng out.

the rear bumper is a different story, that needs to be replaced.

 

Theres a crease in the driver side fender where it curves into the hood, i think theres a pic of it in that photobucket album, and ya think so? IM just so lost on body work :P

 

creases are possible to pull out, but not easy. from the looks of it, most of can be fixed with bondo.

 

Ahh i see,well thanks for the insight man! i appreciate it

 

im not saying go out and smear the car with bondo to fix everything. im just saying a lot of the damage is minor and can easily be filled with bondo without having to layer it on inches thick. any dents still need to be hammered out or pulled. but the scratches and gouges can be smeared and smoothed.

 

You need new front tires. Im looking at pictures and not in person. If it were me I would not replace anything. Almost all of it will come out with sanding. The rear bumper appears repairable. If you are prepared to buy a new rear bumper then take the old one to a body shop and let them repair it. This will be cheaper than a new bumper and probably cheaper than you buying the right materials for a single repair. It will probably be harder to get after market fenders to fit than actually repairing the originals.

edit- The seventh picture down (driver quarter) is not a good angle however the ground effect piece appears broken and may require replacement.

 

Ah I see
and new tires? I got them new 4 months ago.I got a smaller size for rubbing and wear reasons.

 

lol, The fronts looked bald in the pictures. It was a random thought, maybee I have been on TGO to long tonight.

 

Haha ah bro i getcha! haha. They do look bald!:P But theyre just dirty, the thing doesnt move more than 300 feet haha. And also, I have to replace my bumper,i just looked at it. The side by the ground effect is all cracked ):
