video of the damage 1.Do you guys think that the PDR method can pull out any of this driver rear quarter panel dent damage?
2.Can this be fixed without cutting out and replacing the panel?
3.How do I fix the quarter panels front edge that makes the gap line with my door?
4.What dent removal process or fixing process would you guys use or recommend I use?
6.What's the estimated in your area to fix this (ex. PDR cost, cut out and replace panel cost, filler body work labor cost)?

The car is a 92 honda prelude Si. Im mechanically inclined but I have never done any body work. I have started reading up on the different types of fillers and how and when to use them. Any information, help, and advice on where to look will be a blessing. picture of right side door and quarter panel edges. Thanks guys.

 

Pdr might make it better but no way someone can Pdr it back to what it was. Youre going to have to replace the quarter panel, plus looks like the inside of the door jam is also damaged

 

yea i was hoping to pull out the low spots and push in the eye brows and crowns. I know it will never be like new I just want it to look better than it does now. if I get the high spots down and the lows out some could I make a template of the right side- reverse it and use as a guid to form the outer edge of quarter panel? I know that that would be a lot of bondo filler but I don't have the tools,skill, and money for replacing the quarter panel to be a option.

 

Yes the inside of the door jamb is damaged. I was hoping to pull out the low spots and push in the eye brows and crowns. I know it will never be like new I just want it to look better than it does now. if I get the high spots down and the lows spots up some could I make a template of the right side- reverse it and use as a guid to form the outer edge of the quarter panel/inner door jamb? I know that would be a lot of bondo filler but I do not have the tools, skill, or money for replacing the quarter panel to be a option.

 

no PDR guy can pull that out. they wouldnt even attempt it. the qtr panel is caved in, warped, and creased. you're going to have to cut it out and put a new/used qtr panel. with the way that door jamb has been pushed back, theres a slight chance u have inner structure damage.

you'd be paying too much money for the hours it'd take for a body man to try to knock that thing straight; it'd be more cost and time efficient for you and the shop to just cut it out and replace it with a new/used panel. With a new panel u can avoid having a panel full of bondo. itd be the best way to do it.

people always want to know how much things cost to fix, but honestly you will never really know unless you went and got a quote. every shop is different than the next. every area/city/state is different than the next. from the amount of hours they'll charge to what they'll actually charge, to the money per hour they charge. off the top of my head id say anywhere from $1500-$2500.
