Passenger Door Dented Fender
Today I opened my passenger door, and the outside of it grabbed the fender and dented it. There's always been a little catch there that makes a little pop sound everytime openin g the door. Today it grabbed and bent the fender towards the frame I was in serious WTF mode. Now I don't know what to do. What is best to use to help bend that out? I know i'm going to have to take it off but what do i use to bend it back that won't damage the fender, the XJ has excellent paint so I don't want to screw it up. Thanks in advance. It's so dark out or i'd take pictures.

You might could try a pop-a-dent guy and see if he can help.
I'd honestly mod the hinges to bolt to the body instead of being welded to the body. That allows for better adjustment when the hinges and pins start to weaken and the doors start to sag.

I know I have many more dents to come, but I kinda want this thing to be clean. I bought it for $500 and i'm trying to fix it up for my wife. Thanks blackknight, I guess i'll be getting out the angle grinder...
