JSF Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hi all, As seen below i've recently purchased another Ke70 but this one has a nasty dent on the front right hand fender. Do any of you guys on here know a way i can get it out without having to get it panelbeated etc? I already tried the GPS Suction Cap thing, but didn't work, :x.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Buy a new white guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 If you want to just quickly pop out the dent remove the plastic inner wheel mould and push from behind . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 The fender will probably cost more than the car itself. I'll remove the plastic inner wheel mould and try and push it and see how i go. Hopefully things don't flake/rust off. I'll be spray painting it this weekend or so, so yeah.

ke70dave Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Theres a few creases there which will take a bit of effort to get out. Hammer and dolly will be your way forward i think. Gonna take alot of work to get it back to being straight again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I don't really want it straight 100% perfect, i just want it to look normal from a far away distance lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Btw, what's a dolly, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I just got a completely straight guard for free. Shouldnt cost more than $50 for a good one. If you wanna pull it out really easy take the indicator off and pull it out using the hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 A dolly is the thing you hold against the outside of your guard when you hit the inside with a hammer. They come in various shapes of steel, but a solid bit of wood works fine. Get a 100x100 timber about 200 long and round the edge with a file or rasp or sander. Hold it flat on the outside and hammer the inside against it. It will pay to take the guard off. You could lay the guard on a bit of plywood sheet and gently hammer the inside or roll a solid castor wheel over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I don't want to put much time an effort into it haha, just want to try and do it whilst the fender is on the car and make it look a bit more rpese4ntable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 It wont happen mate. It will proabbyl look worse than it does now. especially if you intend on painting it, that will just exadurate the dent. you can even buy brand new guards http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TOYOTA-COROLLA-GUARD-KE70-PANEL-VAN-81-84-/251092445186?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a7646a802 Reproduction....still....brand new!

JSF Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 That's in Sydney, i'm in Victoria and i think it's only the L/H guard. If there was new ones or one for sale on Ebay i would've bought them, :P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
