s13 with stock fenders.

Ok so back at one of the track days i hit a wall and got some fender, now on my passenger rear quarter pannel i got bondo, is it going to be possible to stretch/roll a fender with bondo if i am wanting to run a 18x10 or a 17x10 with a slammed car?

The bondo is right where you would stretch and roll a fender.

My concern is cracking/breaking the bondo and having to rebondo and paint all over again. I searched and searched sorry if it has been covered before, as you can tell i gots like no post because i usually can search and find the answeres i am looking for.

Thanks guys, lmk what needs to be done to fit this.

i dont think you can be able to roll/pull if quarter panel has been fixed with bondo...iv had smiler situation which led me into breaking/cracking it.

good luck tho

Im pretty sure your out of luck. When your pulling the fender out like that your stretching the metal around that area also. Id say knock the bondo off and have a decent body shop take a whack at reworking the whole area. At least that way your get your fender pulled and they can pull out some of the old damage with a slide hammer.

I pulled most of it out the old fashioned way by drilling and pulling.

No more imputs?

It's going to crack definitely. (I majored in Auto paint and body btw)

fuck yeah the bondo is going to crack if you try to stretch it. bondo doesnt have the same properties as metal.

get overfenders or a new chassis.

Over fender time.

bondo will definetly not be able to withstand a roll/pull. if you're lucky, you will just develop hairline cracks, but over time they will get bigger and bigger until something bad happens.

if you knew about this before you applied the bondo, you were better off shaping the fender while bondo-ing it and estimating how much roll/pull you'd need.

or just get overfenders!
