Auto body repair & detailing: pulling rear quarter pannal, toyota cressida, integraty


Question
I got an 86 Toyota Cressida form a friend who had backed into a parking barrier. Checking under the car and track in snow, the frame seems straight. The rear panel got pushed forward which put a dent in the side, bumper is bent (old style) but away from the mounting support and a dent under the tail light. An instructor at the school I work at says this will have to go on a frame straightener. Could this just be pulled and filled and how.

Answer
Befor I did any thing I would remove the bumper and try a new one on it. If the frame is damadged in any way it should be fixed buy a pro frame person. You car has whats called a crumple zone if its integraty is damadged in any way in a rear end collision you could get seriosly hurt or killed. show it to your instucter and abide by what he says. Remember its you and your passengers life we are talking about!
