The FIRST stage is very 'ugly', so I will not post any 'pics' from that part.
Once the body lines are 'correct' I will shoot some of the two-tone, red and green car, then show the rest of the process.
You remember how that left quarter had that 2 inch 'fold'? We pulled that out!
The new deck lid fits the window and right quarter now. The left quarter is getting replaced, but it almost lines up.
There is NO reason to fear this car.
It's ALL 'cosmetic'. We ALL know that it was hit. Big DEAL!! Now it's getting REPAIRED and will live ON!

Saving WEE TURTLES!!! Sean, you can re-post! Nobody was offended!
If you have pics of it quarter-less some of us would like to see them. In the near future most svxs will need quarters replaced. I'm interested in just how many spot welds need to be drilled out.
