Well I was at wal-mart the other day and a wheel chair came shooting out of the front door. The wheel chair hit my door and left a pretty healthy dent/scratch. It's about 1 1/2 ft. long, and it is a dent. Bondo is always a consideration, but should I just replace the door? Or will bondo do a good job? What do u guys recommend?

goes to show ya where to park ur car always next to 2 big @$$ vans atleast 20 feet from the door!

 

I always park on the downslope side of a cement island. Hehe.

 

Well it was'nt really a question of where to park. I was'nt parked when this happend any way....But anyone have any recomendations on fixing this? Is bondo good enough, or should I get a new door....

if i were you, i would look into a cheap door. your going to have to get atleast the door repainted anyway, so i think it would be better off to get a fresh peice that wasnt in an accident. that way everything inside the door isnt squished, its where it should be. just my opinion.

 

well I got a good deep dent in my cam's drivers door last year and spent close to a week filling and sanding. It loked great untill a few weeks ago and the bondo started to peal...so if you do bondo it I would suggest sanding to bear metal first.
