Bloody Wind!!!
Ray was happily sitting under his carport today, idling away in neutral with his half assed handbrake on. While i was in the back all of a sudden he
started to roll backwards, so i dove into the front seat, slammed my foot on the brake before he went in the washing line. At the same time, the wind
blew open the drivers side door, busted the check strap, and did this....

that sucks. rip the inside doorpanel off asap and try to push it back out by hand, because it is so recent you may be able to get most of the dint
back out, will save you alot of time later.

Oh no Bob.
It is not a pusher outer in any way I hate to say. The pics show the creases I have worked on thousands of times that cannot be pushed out.
The perfection way to repair would be.
Strip every part of hardware off the door.
Strip every part off the front panel including windscreen.
Metal finish door damage and realign hinges as required.
Paint door and front panel, blending basecoat and clearcoat whole panel with no blends in the clear.
If you can get same brand paint as restoration, then that is a better way of doing it, and if you can get original place of resto to do it, even
better.
Painful part is, the job would far exceed a $400 excess to claim the job on insurance. That may be an option.

Hey Peter
It's just a solid PPG paint with no clear i mixed myself. I have plenty left, plus i have a spare door i can get hold of. Front panel is actually not
too bad, so i think i may just fix it myself.
Cheers

No worries Bob.

Go for it and good luck, it will all turn out good.

Thanks all,
Ray is all fixed. Turned out pretty good, and i'm very happy with the colour match.
Must have turned out alright, as he scored himself a trophy yesterday at the Gold Coast show.
