quarter panel replacement?

[stlunatic]

whats up guys, the other day at the gas station i came around the corner and the tall curb dented my quarter panel pretty good. the damage is only on one piece of metal, its the long skinny piece that runs down the side of the car, sorry for lack of technical terms. is this piece removable and replaceable? i swear this car is so dinged up that the body work to fix it might be more then the cars worth!

Rocker Panel. Not an easy fix.

The rocker is structural to the car, you can't really get inside of it to push out the dent... Best way would be grind off the paint, use a pin welder in the crease and pull it out little by little. A little filler than re paint it. And if the car is as dinged up as you are saying, it WILL cost more than the car is worth, unless you do the work yourself.

thats pretty much what i was expecting to hear. i have a couple golf ball dents in the driver and pass door, plus i need to rerplace my pass. fender. maybe i should say f the body work and save up for a new shiny one.

Replacing the fender is easy. Ask around and maybe someone will have a nice set of doors for cheap. What color are they? As for the rocker, that is a lot of work to fix. You can cut and weld, but not really worth your time. You have pics?

:GotPics:dude if you can get ahold of some dry ice. there is a way to get like hail dents out. and if you have a friend that works at a dealership. he will know who the good paintless dint guy. be real cool with the guy, and i have had an entire car done 4 $100. they drill a small hole in your door jam and use a rod. big light and a mirror with a line on it and push it out. and there are these guys thad come to the dealerships and will fix serious dents. but that rocker... well that sucks. i think there should be some sort of cheap way. somewere somehow

color is white, i know the fender would be easy but its hard to come by a white gen 2 fender, ive found a couple for like 300 bucks and that is way too much money for a fender. ill see if i can get some pics tommorrow
