On a difficulty scale of 1-10 this is probably a 12.
There's so many ways to go out of whack on this kind of repair. If you have to get into any of the suspension mounting points, you should seriously consider getting it done at a professional shop with the equipment to do it correctly. Then factor in all the panel gaps involved for a satisfactory repair. I won't say you can't do it, because I don't know you, your skill set, or your equipment; but if any of those areas are not up to the task; serious consideration of all options should be taken. |
