You doing that yourself or paying a shop? I've got some similar damage on mine and have been debating if it's worth the hassle to fix it.

To me its worth the hassle because I love this kinda of stuff and I have a body shop at my disposal. So im doing the big stuff llike cutting the skin off and tack welding. I s--k at the finish work so the body dude with make it look good.
