New Pics of Dent,, How easy to fix??

I took some better pics of the dent I want to get repaired. Is there any way besides bondo to pull this dent out for fairly cheap?

You'll have to copy and paste the urls.

I would pull off the fender, GENTLY hammer the dent out as best as you can, Sand the paint off, Bondo it, sand the Bondo 'till its perfect, put it back on and have it painted... should only take you a day or two to fix it!
Good luck!

i've been doing body work for 5 years now and u don't sound like u like bondo too much or know how to do it. Most anything can be saved w/a little bondo hehehe but for u i would say go to the junk yard, buy a fender and bring it to a body and have them paint it. That seems to be the easiest thing for u to do.

I've been doing body work for 7 years! lol Replaceing the fender is easiest and fastest way of getting it looking good once again.

It's not that I don't like bondo, I'm a poor college kid and was hoping the dents could just be banged out. I don't have $100-$150 to spend on painting it, I might just wait for when I have the whole car painted and buy a new fender.
