ie. Buy a new car and transfer any mods you want to keep over from this one to the new one. Repairing that with very limited knowledge just isn't worth it.

i do body work on vans and lorrys and we wouldnt even think about trying to repair that considering that alot of that is filler already you would need to probably get most of that filler out and then see how much work there is it would need banging out or pin pulled out then filler dont bother with fibreglass no need fo rit get some p100 easy sand knock it back get some good shape into it then some nice top stop gold to finish it off to fill pin holes etc then high build it then block that back then paint it big job
