S13 rear end repair.

Got rear ended. No insurance involved.

Any ideas or tips to get the center part of the rear end frame to be shaped back in place using hand tools.

I cannot afford to take it to a body shop.

I got this far by kicking the shit out of it from behind.

Im going to replace the tail lights and rear garnish. I just want the trunk key hole to align the best it can.

They trunk latch assembly is keeping me from hammering it away

I bought a cheap sheet metal/body repair kit from OReillys for like $40 to use on a friend's car that got a small fender bender. It has all the hammers and dolly's. It was not perfect by any means /I am not a body guy, but I was able to get things straight. In your case, I would think it would be great since you can "cover up" the small imperfections with the lights. Can you cut off the latch assembly and re weld it?
When I needed a new tail light center section, I found it on craigslist for pretty cheap.

In most case's you can take the trim off the rear body panel and work it out with a block of wood and a hammer just dont get carried away with it.Iam a bodyman of 35 years you can pm me and we can talk on the phone if you would like to.I am new to this site doing a LS swap for my son.
