Default Help with door repair

I did a search and couldn't find anything. The outside of my door is pretty messed up and someone told me that if i just took off the inside of the panel it would be easy to fix the outer panel. well, i got off the inner panel, but i couldn't get a mallet into the small holes to bang out the dents.

how do i take off the outer panel?

the person may be talking about door skins...some manufacturers make '"skins" for their cars...im not sure if Honda made one for the 92-95's but i know the newer models have them. They're alot cheaper then a new door and alot better looking too insted of messing around with bondo. You might wanna look into that insted. If not, you're not gonna be able to beat that dent out from the inside unless it's right where you have room to...you might have to take out ur window also...

thanks. i figured i could work out the major areas of the door with the hammer, beating it with my hand, and then bondo the other area's. just trying to get the big indentations out for now.

You can get a used door with all hardware for 100-150 dollars at a Salvage yard. Or Honda sells the outer skin for 210.00 then you have to have it installed. good luck
