Best way to remove dent on fold rear quarter

So I had a little mishap on the weekend with a hidden branch behind a bush on a very tight overgrown seldom used track.

I'm going to have a crack of trying to get the rear quarter dent out on the fold of the panel.

What would be the best way to tackle this?

Heat the guard to try and stop paint cracking, go in from the jack holder compartment with a plate on bottom of fold and hit out and repeat on high side of fold?

Any help appreciated folks!!

Not after perfection...

I dont think you'll get away without damaging the paint, because it is creased imo. But I'm hopeless at body work

Mate I have zero idea on what I am doing lol

Go get a plenishing hammer and start hitting stuff

Bring it here

Thats a 2 person dent

When Peter Tommasini had his show on Ch31 I was transfixed every episode. Do some googling under his name you might find something. Absolute metal genius.

Would you worry about removing a dent from a GQ? :eck05:

enough blasphemy from you sir begone!

That dent is not coming out without paint damage.

Removing the inner trim will give you access to get in there, but since the fold/crease line is damaged, it will take a lot of beating, and pulling to get it straight again. To get it straight properly, the paint needs to be taken back to bare metal.....

if only you were close ...

Yep, had a careful crack at it, paint started cracking, THAT'S IT, IT'S STAYING AS IT IS...DAMN IT!

It's OK mate. You've seen my rear door, you sorta get used to it. [emoji30]

Seriously mate, bring it over and we can have a good crack at it. It really is a 2 person dent mate. some pressure from inside and a smooth face hammer on the paint side will make it considerably better than it is.

If you want to get it done, how much would you pay to neaten it up a little, as I know a good panel beater that will usually do it a bit cheaper if there is no time pressures and he can use it as a fill in job?

have you tried turning it off n on again

Wrong door AB..

Then there's the one on the lower LHF door. Both done at the same time. My paint hasn't cracked so it's staying like that till I get off my ass and find two the same colour. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/04/108.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/04/109.jpg

I really should do something about it. I'll take the trim off and see if it pops out.
Well one day I will..

Yehx2. The paint will get damaged here. Go get a cheap set of panel hammers and dollies, useful for may situations not only dent removal. No panel beater but have certainly done some of my own (not pro job but looks ok. Take the inner panels away, access the best you can, work on area gradually from outside towards center area, bit at a time. Start off by applying pressure around outside area with say lever and padded on end see how things flow. Maybe tight to swing a hammer in there but tap away with dolly on outside to provide support to the metal. Use a selection of hammers work away you will find combo that work best for you. Don't worry about the paint work as it will be the decide. Give it a go mate.

Yep little too tight to swing a hammer unfortunately.

Why fix it when ya only gunna break it again? Just hit the other side the same and call it a limited edition :)

It will be worth heaps, production run of one only...

Nah you can't leave it like that otherwise you give up and it turns into a bush pig!

weld lugs on it and use a slide hammer n heat,you will need to touch it up withb a bit of filler n shit,maybe the easiest way top go about it
