Fixing the Right Fender

The damage:
First I needed to pull some of the inner body parts out, so I hooked up the tow strap and a come along to my car and a tech van, easily pulled it out.
Then I needed to pull it up.
Then it was hammer time, I spent some quality time getting to know my car's inner body and fender as I beat on it with my 7 piece fender and body hammer set from harbor freight. Not too bad for having next to no experience in body work.

Well, it's a lot better than it was before, still not in pre-accident condition, but as a rally car driver once told me, it just needs to look good fifty feet away going fifty mph, called the 50/50 rule. If I use some touch up paint, I think it'll be there.
