    1990 civic dx hatchback
    Ok my dx hatchback was hit in the rear end. There is minor frame damage but the rear driver side is creased. My question is what would be the easiest way to fix the crease?

    Is the crease on the frame rails(though it's a unibody) in front of or behind the rear suspension mounting points? Or is the guarter panel creased? If the quarter panel is creased then there is significant damage to the body and you should consider junking it. Because its cost will be far above the value of the car.

    If its in front... consider junking the car... frame repairs will excede its current value... and it will chew up tires if its left as-is. If its behind (I'd still have it checked for alignment issues) then its, it would help if you could post a picture of the damage... but even then we are guessing... a body and frame guy that can see the car up close will give a better idea of the actual damage... and it might be far more extensive than it appears.

    I can't upload any pics from my phone but the crease is right in front of the rear wheel and about four inches from the fuel cap. I did have to put camber adjusters on and that fixed the alignment issue. I plan on doing the work myself so I just want advice on the easiest way to fix the crease. Thanks for your reply.
