    Another CUCV accident

    Well, If it was me. I'd drive it just like it is. (as ) I can not even see a dent anywhere. A picture with a 'ring marker' round the damage would force me to say, OK, so there is a minor ? dent. I would use a slide hammer with a king size self tapping screw fitted at the end (Make one!), And...
