Access to driver's side quarter panel HELP

Post by TD05 »

Some bastard opened his door right into the quarter panel and left his
f!@%# white paint behind together with a nice little pin dent, I'd like to push it out from inside.. My question is how do I get inside , it's about the same position where the fuel filler is but on the drivers side and closer to the door... is this doable???

Ouch!

Not easy to get in there... it's not like you can unbolt the panel. Might be a specialist job. What about one of those mobile dent fix-it guys?

ouch alright, had a quick look and I may be able to get my hand through the well where the jack is stored, if not, then it'd be off to the mobile dent fix-it guy.. :x

I think I know why the stazz is so heavy, I removed the trim next to the rear seat behind the driver's seat, and I could get my arm right behind where the dent should be, but, the engineers must have decided that there should two to panels, the outer skin and the the shell, so it looks like I can't push it out. My guess is that minimizing weight was NOT a priority in those days.

Then again I could be wrong, but it definitely feels like double panels.
I'm going out so I don't have the time to investigate right now.

had another look and what appeared to be twp panels turned out to be just one, I managed to massage the dent out (mostly), polished the white paint off, now you've really gotta look to see it......
