How about just getting the dent pulled out? Doesn't look like the paint has cracked.

dude, that can be pulled out by any decent body shop. If your qp had a sick dent full of kinks then maybe you might have to cut it out and put another one in and weld in and blah blah blah, but not for that.

its a medium bitch.

you have to cut alot of spot welds from the inside, just pull some of the interior and youll see. youll still have some joints to finish, and dont forget seam sealer or something similar, you dont want water collecting sround those new welds -

Well that sucks! But I can tell you this much, that big nasty dent is all over the character lines(defining edges , corners, creases,ect. that basically give a car it's distnct lines) of the quarter. Thats where your going to pay for it. All though the dent can be pulled it will look like an uncrumbled piece of paper. Either replace the quarter, or go get a Bondo sponsership

A quarter can be put on but MAKE SURE it is someone that knows what they are doing otherwise it won't be right. Those are a pain.

I do body work and Im sorry to say but the best route would be to replace the quarter panel and if you havent done it b4 get it done by a shop it . some people say it aint bad but if you dont have the proper welding skills it will look like crap.

I once saw a 90ish prelude towing a 90ish accord flat down the highway at like 70mph. O_o And my friend towed a Jag XJ6 to his house with a 91 4 cylinder S10, talk about the tail walking the dog...

Get a decent shop to give it a quick frame pull, becasue it has rear frame rail damage. Had the same thing on my 91 Si, I put it on the frame machine and pulled it and the buckle came most of the way out, just hammered it out the rest of the way. After that its time to mud it up, make it look real nice, not too hard but you need the skills to do it.
