Message Too similar. DS rear and PS front. It was straightened to proper measurements, and while you couldn't really tell without looking close, nothing fit perfectly afterwards (I remember having to mill clearance on some mounting holes) and it just felt a little off to me.

That and you could tell where the repair was made as the sheet metal underneath the fenders/bottom of the car never get 100% straight again.

Also, like Wood said, basically that section of the steel has been cold worked now which can make it brittle if anything happens in the future.

For the cost of straightening and/or a new quarter panel and paint, you might be financially and time-wise better off finding a rolling chassis.
