Hell nah, I used some ultra mega crazy 3M shit! I DID hammer and pull the dent out as much as I possibly could though, so it's not as thick as you might imagine... What we did was to pull the part under the line out first, and then go back and pull out the part above the line. After that, caved and paved the 3M stuff on, and used a wide sanding disk on a big orbital grinder to shape the panel.
Went over this with 3M again, and after that, used a long bladed air sander to shape it into what you see there. Now, after this, the panel still needs just a real thin layer of bondo and glazing putty to make it perfect, but the fiberglass shit took care of mostly everything really. Honestly, the hardest part was to shape the dip for the rear trim piece, that area got distorted really bad.

Also, having instructors with 20+ years experience helps too.

Anyway, after letting the car sit for a while, I finally got around to ordering more stuff and started installing the polyurethane bushings... so far I got the front control arms done.

I think I found mecca btw, and it's called Himni Racing!

They are the ONLY place I found a full ss harware kit for my engine, as well as a samco interooler hose kit to replace the stock FC hoses, and a greddy bov adaptor. Usually, to run a greddy bov, you need to buy a $150 cast pipe, or weld in a flange. Himni sell a flange that just clamps right on to the stock hose, genius! (this way I can go back to stock Bov if I sell the car or if I have any problems.


PS: Also ordered like $250 more worth of gaskets, seals, and orings from Mazdatrix, I swear, by this time, it would have been cheaper to just get an entire fucking rebuild kit.... damn. Got an OMP rebuild kit from Pineapple racing as well while I'm in here.
Pics of all this being installed will be up within the month cause I'm trying to finish my car for a drift comp at the end of the month.
