s14 How Do I Fix This Dent?

Hey guys, So I decided to drift the other day at the local track and slid into a wall. Now I have this big ugly pinch in my rear quarter panel. How do I pull this? I dont think a slide hammer would work the best as it is pinched. Should I try something sturdy and a ratchet strap? Ill post more pics later in detail. As you can see its all shifted over because there is a bend just under the rear window and the end of the panel is shifted under the trunk. Also, the panel is pushed in like 3 inches from where the body should be. Any help is appriciated. Thanks 230613_10200343147564842_745927043_n.jpg

take the panels off and Roll the dents out with the heel of your foot, with a sock on. using the INSIDE of the panel

Did that with my eclipse a while back and it actually cleaned the dent up by 95%

Unless you never plan on going to the track or drifting the car anywhere...i would just leave it like it is and say hello to your new missile.

Learn some bodywork by taking classes, or be cheap and pay someone $225 because that is going to cost less then your other options, like body repair classes or over fenders.

you need a stud welder and a impact. You can weld a small stud and use the hand impact to pull it back out and tap it back in place, grind and fill.

that thing is /fucked/ the trunk isn't even sitting... I doubt you'll be able to get it straight and flat, that comes with experience... I'd do as much as you can then get someone who knows what they are doing to finish it if you even care about how it looks... OR, do what I did - I bought mine with the rear smashed up and got over fenders. natures band aid.

Easiest fix, install over fenders. Other options, find a new shell...

id go slow and at the same time you could heat up the metal at the fold with a propane torch to soften it up or with hammers.

i did the same and found that the propane torch worked really well along with hammering in between cycles.

your car is primered so thatll be an easy spray after your done and close to desired outcome*

Hahah i wrote all this fast so the grammar might be off*

and hope you understand what i mean. GL

Seriously, that sort of repair requires bodyshop work, or you learning how to do bodyshop work. For 225 bucks I'd be skeptical of shoddy repair work and or them making it look worse.

first things first you must get rid of the pinch. if your a budget drifter like most are grab a 2x4 and a sledge, take out your taillight and anything in that area. place the 2x4 in the spot above the taillight, begin hammering, if that doesnt help remove the pinch, place the 2x4 on the inside of the pinch and begin hammering this may have some adverse affects but untill you do it youll never know. if you do get the pinch out its time for some hammer work. if your really cheap all youll need for this part is a ball peen hammer and the same 2x4. i would advise dropping a little bit of cash and going to a hardware store and buying a sheetmetal/ body work hammer and a dolley. from here on its a simple mater of how much time you want to spend place the dolley on the outside of the quarter pannel and hammer on the inside. be shure to hammer only when the dolley is on the other side of where your hammering. hope that helps.

that is alot of work (from experience lol)

possibly pay the 225$ to have it fixed but i doubt it will be good work like mentioned before.

skip on the sr20 swap and fix that first, or buy another shell lol

im glad that wasnt an s14, they are too rare for that nonsense
