Long story short I was stupid and backed into another car in my apartment parking lot. The other car had minor damage and I offered to pay to fix it but they didnt say anything because they were here illegally and didn't want to report it to the insurance company.

Anyway...

I looked at the damage on the outside and I cant determine how bad it is as I have very little knowlege of body work. Then I pulled away the trim on the inside and found this...


Looks like a previous accident, the repairwork looks bad but I have no clue.


This is the outside damage, looks bad to me but again I really dont know what im looking at.



So how bad is it? Going to be expensive to repair?

Thats not as bad. If it were on the middle part of the quarter panel, that would have been hard to pop out a dent. The damage you've done looks very fixable.

doesnt look badd

wow thanks for the really fast replies... so whats going to have to be replaced? What has to be done to fix it?

Looks like you just need the left rear tail lamp. Other than that the quarter panel can be pulled out and smoothened. The bumper isn't bad at all. After the body work just spray. As long as you don't have those creases you're golden.

i have a taillight if youre interested

by the looks inside, does your antenna even work, it looks disconected... i think the plug hanging in there is the plug for the motorized antenna, is cut off. just make sure you insulate those wires...

the damage looks worst because what you see i s cracked bondo, coming out. I dont think it will be more that 300 to 400 dls total repair...

lol no my antenna does not work...thanks for the heads up I will insulate them today. I'll take it to a body shop today and see what they say.

it'll buff out....
