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

Looks like it'll buff out easy.

say screw it and use it as a car to learn how to drift then build a proper chassis when you fell you have enough skill

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%

Thanks guys...no I dont plan on drifting it anymore where theres walls. I'm really just looking to make a sick street sweeper. Im about to do a sr20det swap and throw in function form II coils. I could pay someone $225 to fix it but im cheap :P

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.

LOOOOL! That's so damn funny. Ive managed to lessen the damage with a hammer and a breaker bar but still ugly Ill try the ratchet strap and tree or a big truck method

HAHAH this made my day!!

id honestly start off with pulling everything out of your trunk and get some ~ 12inch wide 1inch think peices of wood and put em between the backing plate of the trunk and furthest upfront with a tall reaching car jack inbetween and crank that bad boy closest to the edge where the rear bumper mounts up with the wood making contact to transfer weight evenly and see if that helps get the fold out.

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

Thats going to be challenging

Driftwire

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.

mr_eh

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.

can you post a pic of what yours came out to look like with the overfenders?

jr_ss

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

^^^ that post has be rollin hahahaha. So true tho!


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.

...yeah your gonna need a big tree and come a long or a truck and chains and wheel chocks if you don't have access to a frame machine or floor posts with tie downs lol

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

Danger_Dorn

That is an s14

Frank_Jaeger

Nah son, it looks like that coveted uber rare s13.4 rear end conversion.

Lol ooops I fucked that one up. Sorry guys
