    Don't even think about trying to resolve this. You can't get that metal back to the right shape. The sections are too intricate. It would be impossible to restore it to its correct shape and would look like crap. You could weld a new roof on, bu it will never be correct and that being the cae NONE of your windows or door shuts will ever be correct again. Bottom lline is that you will actually pay a very significant amount of money to make the car look 'sort of' okay, but it will become utterly worthless in the process. Yoo would never be able to trade it in or sell it.

    Try and get a sale for it at a breaker's yard. The value of a lot of that vehicle will still be high. You wont get a huge amount for it, but you'd put some cash in your pocket and be rid of the hassle of the car... which to me sounds like the better option versus paying an absolute fortune for imperfect fixes in oder to continue using and being lumbered with a fault-ridden liability you can never get rid of.

    • Keep in mind that the impact will have distorted a whole load of your car, not just the corner that looks bad.Horp
