1.2 3dr First car project

Looks easy fix to me don't just bash it though get someone to pull it out far better finish achieved if you do that as it's been pushed back so logic dictates you pull it forward or is that just me

if you have to do it yourself it is possable to pull it with ratchet straps but a bit of messing about needed for this to happen and someone to help also

I'd be looking for a front panel like you said and also get some primer on the damaged area as if in so many months you decide to do it the exposed steel will be rusty not the best start

Ok sweet, will get some red oxide on the bent bits and will look for a jig or straps

Measure the gap in the aperture in the chassis area/inner wing above where the driveshaft passes from inside the wheel arch.

The aperture can close up in the event of an impact and is not always immediately obvious.

I had a similar issue and several helpful members assisted by providing the correct dimensions.

Otherwise you could replace your inner wing and be left wondering why nothing will line up correctly!

Made a very difficult decision to break her as I'm turning full attention to my saloon, will have a thread up in the next couple of days listing what's for sale.
