    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    that is fixable, just have a shop do it.

    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.
