Regardless, you realize covering the third brake light is illegal, right?

Haha, bondo sucks as a filler, hope you used allmetal or something similar. It's best to hammer it out as much as you can, get it straight, then all metal over it/smooth it out.

I would have found a shell for $500 and transfered every thing over, profesional body work is expensive. But thats just me.

...94% correct.
looks good for an ametuer.
Also...you can not steal a person's SSN with a license plate. You have to have serious connections to get that kind of info or be me m4d l337 y0...but then you'd be going after money and banks and **** and not some joe schmoe with a beat up RX-7.
I have, however, found out that if you can duplicate another person's plates...you can run automated toll booths left and rgith on their dime...
...or if you sell them your car and don't keep the plate (texas)...etc....

i told him to replace the panal....... but he didnt...... but i have to say, we did a pretty good job of making it look better..... it took us 3 days to do..... we pounded the rear panal out as much as possible the bondoed the rest...... not bad though for a few ametuers!

Anyone know if this is going to cost me alot to for someone to bondo it up and make it look better? it's not as bad as some of the other guys but it's pretty knotice-able. i don't want to find another ride just to rid just to rid myself of the blemish. can the average person who knows bondo work be able to make a fix up with the scars i have along side my ride?

My best advice, pound it out best as possible, use a good filler, some bondo ultra light for finish work, and a rattle can of primer, white, and clear (if applicable)-

i plan to do a whole paint job what you talking about i was just talking about body work. i have no experiance with body work but i can paint like a ****. i've practice painting a friends boat. and it really turned out great. we sand the whole boat down and took turns painting kinda a learning curve. but the boat was in immaculate conditon. so i myself don't want to go through the hassle of messing up something that i'll regert. so i dont mind forking over some cash for someone else to do the fixing of the dent in that area.

ops i almost forget my mom asked to take my car to pick up some groceries at the store. little did i know that someone would clip my car not paying attention while driving. i am so mad at that person. my mom had manage to get 400 dollars from the person for repairs. but i used the money instead to get a new raidiator and a new PD. (I had a heavily leaking PD)

Hey Blade 8r doing body work just takes a lot of time and patience. When you think it's smooth and ready to paint wet it and look closely. The water will show all kinds of small dings and little holes. Use a good primer and block sand it until the cows come home. Once after wetting it and you don't see any imperfections then it's ready to paint. Just remember it's all in the prep work that counts!!!!

how am i going to get by the other side so i can hit it with a rubber mallet?. i've tried the plunger efect but that's no good. and i tried drilling pull out. that's worked alot. so im thinking the next best thing to do is to just mask it with half a ton of bondo. i wouldnt mind smoothing out the edges that'll be easy but it's the side where the light is.. that is rusted and luckly not growing. how am i going to get in there? it's behind the light sorta bent. i don't know how to pull dents out of things. can anyone give some basic insturstions?

Ok,
1st things. Im sorry, but your drill and pull method only made things worse, you now have holes that are going to need to be welded.
2nd. Just remove the carpet, you can get back there with tools, I just did it to my car, opposite side, someone backed into me.
3. No bondo over 1/16th inch thick! Bondo is not a good filler. It cracks, comes off, and is generaly only good as a skim.
What I would do is get in there, take a rubber mallet, or some body hammers and blocks and carefully hit it out to the desired shape, grind/sand it clean- fill with a good filler. Now shape the filler with long sanding blocks, and then use bondo untralite as the top workable finish.

what is a good brand of filler? behind the light there is rust in the corner. im not sure if i can get in there without removing the lights again. well i'll see what i can do. as for my holes they are going to be a no prob. a lil JB weld and some sanding. boom it's all done. i know for a fact that jb weld won't come off too eazy. so imma try that. now before i actually come to do all of this... if i can save myself of doing a whole new paint job i would. what the color of a stock white paint? rattle can or a mix what do i have to find to get that same color back on hand.
