Default got sideswiped... need help

hey guys,

so i was coming home from school today around 4pm. and this lady in a bmw came out of the median and hit me. which really sucks as i just got my car back on the road two weeks ago after doing h/c/i.

anyway, im not quite sure if this area can be fixed. i would hate to see the car totaled for such a small area. but, in the next few days i need to get my car down to a body shop for estimate.

need yall body guys knowledge...can this area be fixed or am i doomed?????

Got your tire and everything :/

You might be able to straighten out that quarter panel, I'd just replace the door, there like 50-100 bucks.

I have no other input other than I hate bad drivers. I don't pretend to be perfect (no one is) but some stunts people pull on the roads are retarded.

Hope you get it fixed and looking good as new again. Especially after just getting it back together!
