Cheers MR
i have been told to tac weld to the panel and pull but i dont have a welder ;) the rivets will work well i think.
Yeh mud that's how they do it in the states, there's a specific tool I saw on YouTube but this is the same principal, all credits too three dogs for this too
And yeh just worked along and went back over, I probably should have done more though, the more you can do with the rivets heaps less work later on
Well after almost a week of lunch breaks and after work hours it's almost finished and I am quite excited about the results!

This is the multipurpose heavy duty bog I used, quite impressive.

Neat little orbital that helped more than I could ever thank it for, for $109 who can complain?

My checkerplate doors, only finished 1 as I was curious whether NP.com reckons I should use silicone behind it or not.. If I don't get some feedback I'll have to post elsewhere :\

Bump to add some pics to this.
So after seeing this thread I used this technique to sort out rear quarter panel damage. Saw this thread linked today and bumped so I could add some pics. I might do a separate thread too.

Worked a treat. I laid fiberglass over the panel then bogged and sanded then painted. Came up a treat. Thanks for the idea.
On a side note! Next trip out I smashed this panel again, it's ok though! I also smashed the other rear quarter and both front quarter panels!!! Happy dayz

Instead of making swiss cheese out your quarters you could get a straight tip for the sliding hammer and tack weld it onto the panel and pop it out. If you tact the sliding hammer to the lowest part of the dint you would only need to pull it out a couple of times!
Yes I agree a spot weld would be a winner. This worked very well though for anyone without a welder. A cheap ass pop river kit from Super Cheap is $12 in the bargain bin.Quote:
