The guard may be able to be beaten but it looks like it has been hit before or has rust issues as in the last photo there appears to be a chunk of
body filler. It may be easier to buy a replacement guard and have it resprayed and bolt it striaght on. If it was a "clean" hit and hasn't
creased the inner guard (look in the photos of my accident to see what I mean) it should be an easy task. The fuel filler area looks creased so it
may be a bit harder but possible none the less. Good luck.

leave the guard on.
you may need to put a hole in the guard and use some chain etc thought the hole to pull the front panel near the fuel filler out.
Most panel shops can do this for you also on a rack.
Then you can just replace the guard.

2nd what Bugboy said.
Once the fuel filler bit is repaired, have a crack at bangin the guard into shape.
You got nothing to loose and it'll be good practice on something that may or may not be of any use.
Also, you at least have a guard on the car that matches the paint work until you can find a suitable replacement.
If you can't fix it with a hammer,
you have an electrical problem....

Thats a bit of hard luck, but every time you have someone run into you or reverse into you they always say "sorry didn't see you" i say how the
f%&# could you not see me i got that much factory chrome on it you should of been well aware of it. 4wd's get em off the street and out in the
mud and dirt where they were designed to be not just to go shopping.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

slow down to the speed limit

WOOO!
Picked her up at lunch today looking good as new. Cheers mactaylor for the near perfect guard! Came up to around $900 worth of work, paint etc, Thank
god it wasnt my fault
While it was sitting in my garage I was able to make a few upgrades to the sound system with the knowledge and guidance of Joel 
I will admit that its pretty much a 100% of 1 of his old setups
Whole setup cost me around $200 (600w alpine amp, wood for sub box, two 10inch Power Acoustik Subs, wiring kit, carpet and wood for speaker shelf) so
I'm pretty happy with that
Heres to happy motoring before my next problem
