what happens if you dent a rear-quarter?

[mspiegle]

I have a car with a dented front-pssgr fender and a very lightly dented driver's quarter (might be fixable via PDR?)

I have a parts car that has all of these parts in good condition. Is the front fender a bolt-on ordeal? What about rear quarters? The only thing I can think of is that they must be welded/attached to the rear pillars. Can anyone shed some light on this?

yeah, front fenders are bolt on. Rear quater panels are not and must be cut and welded on.

Front fender is removable, rear is part of the unibody...not removable. If its not too bad I'm sure a shop can remove them for you; and if they are bad, then you'd have to strip the paint, use a stud welder and pull out the dents that way, then remove the studs, sand it down so it looks perfect, then paint the fender. With really bad dents, like accident damage, people tend to just consider the car totalled.

they will push it or pull it to make it as smooth as possible then they would probably fill it in with bondo and sand it down to make it smooth. ( this is what they would do to the quater i belive. )

Alright... good to hear about the front fender... sucks to hear about the rear quarter. The damage to it isn't significant, but at least I know what i'm up against.

Thanks!
