    Re: a hole or a dent, i can't decide

    Drill a hole and start pumping air into it, i'm sure the german sealants don't leak. 200PSI should pop that dent out.

        It's not fully sealed in there, the front fender bolts in to the same opening.

          Glad you're okay! You might want to use some jack stands next time, your hands are worth it.

          That dent will need to have some pins welded and then have it pulled.

            Time for a floor jack and jack stands. The widow maker is the very very very last resort.

                    This. I always use a proper jack and support with jack stands. Only once I had to use the widow maker on the side of the road, and even though I was nowhere near being underneath the car, it was scaring the sh!t out of me. I just looks so God damn sketchy. Glad you werent hurt though and that no serious damage happened!

                        Thats what I was talking about. I have those tools. I can fix it, but paint ain't cheap.

                            I'd at least pull the dent and spray some paint over it and anti rust inside it to prevent this from becoming a major rust spot.
