Well i headed over to Walsall this morning to take on this bit of a challenge..
This is one of those jobs where you never know how its going to go, sometimes in pdr things dont go to plan and you can come across all sorts of problems like impact bars, inner frame work, sound deadening pads, no access for tools etc etc. As it happens this wasnt too bad, after removing the boot trim i found there was a significant amount of sound deadening bonded to the rear of this panel but a little bit of heat and i was able to remove it easily enough allowing full access to the back of the panel.
If you look there is actually damage over to the right hand side of the picture also.
This repair was done just by using simple strategic pushes across the damaged area slowly bringing it back up to level and working out the imperfections. The whole repair was done using just one dent rod and a chain that i used as a leverage point to push the dent out. This dent took around 1 1/2 hours to complete and the owner was over the moon at how well it came out,
Here is a picture showing the tailgate again after the dent has been removed.

Thanks for reading my blog.
Here is a final shot i took of the car now returned to its former glory....
