DENT

[birchybalboa]

Arite. I have a massive fook off dent between the rear window and boot. What would be best and easyest? Get new quarter panel. Fill it sand and paint or take it to someone? Any ideas? Cheerz:drink:

[JamesR]

A suction cup? If not a new boot from scrapyard mate :)

A suction cup? If not a new boot from scrapyard mate :)

he said it's on the rear quarter :detective: ie a new shell would be needed but doubt he's gonna bother with that lol

[birchybalboa]

Yers its between the boot and window like a big crease. Suction cup would not work in that position. Night try knocking it out a bit then fill it?

[JamesR]

he said it's on the rear quarter :detective: ie a new shell would be needed but doubt he's gonna bother with that lol

So he did. I got confused when i seen " In between the rear window and boot "

I thought he meant the boot window, so was like :wacko:

[blackie_2k5]

dont need a new shell quarters are easy, if you know how, best to get pics up mate, if it needs a quarter it needs one, if you cant others can but we cant tell you to new it or fille it if we dont know how bad, btw vtr1234 aint seen you in a while mate

[blackie_2k5]

also got one in mine, will bein sorting it tommorow if you wanna check my progress thread late tommorow

[stevo67]

Ge pics up please of said dent.


Steve.

[birchybalboa]

I will do tomo. I took a pic of car but you cant see it with that pic so will get a close up cheerz

[Daveydinho6]

as everyone's said mate the best thing to do is put a pic up, but putting a new rear quarter on is probably going to cost alot so your best bet would be to get it out as much as poss. with a pin puller, fill it, then spray it :)

[birchybalboa]

how do u upload photos straight from "my pictures" stupid question but im finding it quite difficult:drink:

[Azza-VTR]

use a image hosting site like photobucket - upload the photos there and you'll receive separate url's for them which you need to paste in the insert image box
Hope it makes sense what I said lol

thats thee dent fookin that took some workin out for me:drink:

[danny_b92]

u filler that it will fuck it up maye u could just hire a tack det puller so much easer just grind it down tak n pull haha sooo easy it unreal lol

[Andys_VTR]

i have a electric dent puller that is great for those dents

[SeanMartin]

Nasty dent that, How you dent it there anyway?

[blackie_2k5]

better of going to scrappy and cut a section of another saxos quarter away, will be an easy job, just cut yours back, tack it in place and make sure its all lined up perfect, then weld it up, grind it back smoth and fill it up, doesnt need a full quarter jus take it down to the line of the quarter window and up to the roof along past the window about 3"

[Andys_VTR]

it doesnt need cut it can be pulled out then filled. cutting and wellding would just be adding lots of work

[blackie_2k5]

both sides of the pilar are creased, would be p.o.p to weld the new section i, you spend ages getting that to look right by filling and at then end of the day its a big dent, trying to straighten and fill that would be a nightmare

[erb91]

no need to cut, gash, weld... blah. take it to a bodyshop dude. they will pull the dent out with a dent puller or get at it with rods, then fiberglass it to achive its original shape and finish it of with a skim of filler

what? i would not use fibreglas for that, and say someone did you still gunna have a fillered glassed dented wing when you could jus have a nice new bit with a small amount of filler in

[saxo-parts]

if you weld a new section in you are still going to have to use filler to smooth the joining seam, if the majority of the dent is taken out then filling it is acceptable but would take more filler.

[Ash_1L]

m8 wen uve welded it all u gta do is grind the weld down no need 4 tha filler id st try gt it pulled tbf

[Llardy]

thats acrease by the looks of it so it would either need a new quarter of that would need to be heat shrunk and then pin pulled and then filler, primer paint.

TAKE TO A BODY SHOP

[saxo-parts]

you've got to be a bloody good welder to fit a repair section in without the need for any filler at all, no matter how careful you are the metal is going to distort a bit, and will need filling afterwards.

[birchybalboa]

I got it like it I think the whole panel down to the door is knackered but its been covered by a vts bodykit. Only cheap to buy and it sounds expensive to fix. So may not bother:(

[blackie_2k5]

would need filled, could get it smooth with a grinder but you would need filler, wont need much though just a skim, easier to weld the plate over then pull it and straighten it, then its done well, but you car andothers opinions

[erb91]

what? i would not use fibreglas for that, and say someone did you still gunna have a fillered glassed dented wing when you could jus have a nice new bit with a small amount of filler in

Your do not use fiberglass...you pop it our first, using either a dent puller (spot weld method) or use long rods to push it out section by section, once its as close to straight as you can get it then...then you apply a thin skim of fiberglass to gain an almost identical shape to the other side (original shape) after sanding the fiberglass (not sheet type) apply filler and shape it back up followed by primer then paint. also if you weld a new part in then you risk warping the pannel, even if all go' well you can just slap filler over the wleds and join marks as its farr to fragile to withstand the moovments of the car...etc :y: i am not saying this in a sarchastic way at all...im just correcting you

[birchybalboa]

Sorry to bring this bak up but would any1 be able to give me a rough gestimate on a price at a bodyshop?:hug:

[xxo0pko0xx]

fuck mate i dont think a saxo has a spare pannel there? id reccomend a electric dent puller then fill it. If ur scared of making it look tacky body shop it buddy. Least they'll put a very good job on it and make it look new :)

[xxo0pko0xx]

haha it looks like the one in my old punto :P

[Powellyboi]

Its impossible to give a decent estimate without having a good look at it... You would have to decide if you wanted the panel repaired or you wanted to pay for a new panel and have it welded in...

For a repair your looking at around the 400 mark...

before you try anything right , go and get some carbon oxide spray i think it is and a hair dryer , heat area up until its hot too touch and have to take hand of after 3 seconds then spray it with the carbon oxide and the heat difference expands, i dont know if it will work seeing there are a few deep creases but try 1st
