Well. If you are feeling randy......get your self a com-a-long, a stout tree and friend with a good eye for straight lines. Pull the dent out yourself. Be careful.

Well, i'd make it plan A because you can actually do a pretty good job with a comealong, a stout tree, a cut piece of 2x4 and a hammer. Then you get it done right later.

The rear is repairable but it will require an artist. :yes:

So is that damage new? I have seen this car for sale a few times and can't remember it being bashed in the back like that. I took the rear bumper off my datsun once and after thinking about someone hitting me I put it right back on. I trust myself with the front but I can't control what behind me. I say go for the comealong idea.

well i got another plan first, but if it dose not i will trey the comealong.

if i am not mistaken, Dave at Garage Zero got a complete rear for that car but i may be wrong, PM him to see what happen i rather cut it and reweld a straight pice right there!

I agree with Dragon. If you can do that, for sure do it that way. But I don't think that car is at GZ anymore, I could be wrong but alot of that stuff is gone now.

Good job on the paint, looks like it laid down nice and even. Is it satin?

you dont need to cut up and weld another rear end to do that

that is fixable, just have a shop do it.

the rear is slowly being fixed. A buddy i work used to work a body shop and is doing slowly for me.

I really like those wheels, and what kind of paint did you use?

Looks 10x better than when I had it. I think you should definitely paint the wheels or something though.

You're joking right? You can tell you're young, man, lolol. You don't paint those wheels. Those are classic 80s wheels. Back in the mid 1980's, these were the wheels to have. Man you do NOT paint wheels like these. That's a clear way to ruin them and their nostalgic look. Later, QD.

After I posted that, I looked at them again, and began to ponder.


Then I came up with this...

i used spray cans to paint it, and i think that i am going to leave the wheels the way that they are.

if you havn't fixed the back yet, there is a parts car on craigs. just wwas browsing and thought i'd let you know. this guy seems to have a bunch of crx/cressida/corolla. they are always dirty and wrecked so i assume it a junk yard.
