I know some people love the dents and deep nasty scratches of a true off road machine...but I really need to give my body some TLC (Xterra body...pervs...)
I have a nice dent in the front right fender...which should be easy enough to remove the fender and tap out with a rubber mallet. Worst case scenario I can junk yard one...it is cheap and easy enough to just bolt on.
The bigger dent is in the side of the back left door. It is RIGHT over the crease of the body line. I have suctioned it out some, but of course the crease of the body line won't help me here. I have removed the door panel to try and pop it out from the inside, but it is covered by the window regulator and inner door bracings etc.
Not to mention all of my paint is scratched like crazy...I can deal with the scratched and scuffed paint...I have seen some great DIY videos on youtube and googling about DIY paint jobs too. I am halfway thinking about giving it a try...or Monstaline the whole thing...naturally...prep work is key.
Obviously, as an offroad truck, I am not looking for show room quality results...but just curious if anyone else has learned some tricks of repairing the off road damage?
