Pinch welds look like crap. Can they be revived? Every time I am under neath my car I get pissed off. I bought my 2001 WS.6 used with about 60K on it. My pinch welds on both sides are terrible. Even at the front where the fender bolts under neath is folded over where the dumb *** that owned it before me didn't know how to use a jack. I look closely and the gap on the bottom where the fender meets the door is off as well. Also, there is a piece towards the center of the car in the front is bent also.
My question is can the pinches be revived or is the underside of my car FUBAR? I almost hate to look under neath because it looks so bad. Is this something that a reputable body shop can fix? I'll post up some pics tomorrow to show what I am talking about.

just try a hammer and a block of wood behind it if your not comfortable doing it a body shop cant charge much for it. most shops use the pinch welds when lifting them on a lift
