i know what you mean, i got one that someone had stood on too, this is the before and after pics, not 100% but cos its a white escort it was worth it to me, what i did was removed the window screenand front grill , dipped damaged part of body in boiled water the slightly bent bowed part straight then into cold water in and out in and out etc etc, taking your time is the best thing to get a good result

HI GRANT, I JUST LEAVE THE WINDOW OPEN ALL THE TIME. YOU GUYS DO KNOW HOW TO STRIP BODIES FROM ALL DECO? PAINT COMES OF VERY EASILY WITH LESTOIL. CIRCLETRACK USES IT BEFORE HE DOES HIS CUSTOMS. AVAIL ON THE NET. DON`T LEAVE IT IN TOO LONG OR YOU WILL HAVE GOO PLASTIC. GRANT KNOWS HIS WORK. DIDN`T YOU GET A GANT FROM HIM WHEN YOU WERE DOWN? DAVO ARRANGED THAT FOR YOU.

CIRCLETRACK HAS BEEN DOING THOSE CUSTOM CARS FOR MANY YEARS. I CAN`T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THEM. I DON`T HAVE ENOUGH HAIR TO PULL OUT.
