Default Body work

I just bought a 95 civc coupe, it has 2 dents on the passanger side, one on the door panel and one on the fender, and the bumber needs work to. I would like to get them fixed before it gets painted. My question is would it be better/cheaper to buy a new fender, door panel, bumber or take it to a body shop, and how hard is it to replace those parts

thanks for the help

just replace the fender..better off going to a junkyard. Just make sure nothing is wrong with it if your going to get it painted.

where are the 2 dents on the passenger side? if on the quarter panel get them fixed..way to expensive to replace. Anything else..junkyard.

all a fender is is a couple of bolts from underneath the hood and if you want to put the fenderwells in just line it up. can be done in 5 minutes!

dont forget the ones on the inside of your door for the fender. if you can get to the one on the door itself by removing the door panel. and the same with the rear. you can remove your rear panel to get to the skin of the quarter. but the body shops have tools that can do it a lot easier. i have one on my drivers side quarter and i popped off the panel and took a 2x4 and hammer and beat it out a little. doesnt look that bad but the body shop can do a lot better.
