Trunk extension replacement

The outer wheelhouse damage is going to be the hardest to fix. As far as the trunk extension, it isn't too bad. On the trunk extension, you may be able to use 3 or 4 C clamps to pinch the seam where it is welded to the trunk floor back together so you can weld that joint back. Scrape all the seam sealer off the top of that joint before you start so you can see all of the joint that is pulled open. Work it from the back towards the front when squeezing it back together. You could drill some holes thru one side of the pinch weld, underneath the car where the trunk extension meets the trunk floor, and use those holes to plug weld thru when you get the joint squeezed back together. You can also tack the seam together up in the trunk before you cover it with seam sealer.

As far as the wheelhouse damage, you may or may not be able to beat it close enough together to weld the seams back. Get it to where it looks as good as you can inside the trunk, because that is all anyone is going to see. Seal it all back up with automotive seam sealer when you're done.

I know you know....but be careful welding around the gas tank and filler tube if there is the slightest smell of gas. It ain't the gas that makes the big KABOOMYOW, it's the vapors + a spark. :eek:
