Crunched rear end?
So I bought a 1991 Honda Accord LX the other day. I realized that the frame was crunched in by the previous owner. The damage has crunched in the trunk and quarter panel. From the research that i've done, I realize this is somewhat a costly repair. The car drives fine but I'm kind of nit picky and would fix it if possible. I'm fine with body filler and painting because I hate this ugly burgandy color anyways.
I have a friend with a puller and I'm trying to talk him into it but he says it's too much work for the result. :/ What do you guys recommend?

That looks like its past the dent puller and bondo stage. Its on to the cutting off the panel and welding on a new one stage, and that assuming the actual structure of the car isn't damaged too much.
I'm with you on being a perfectionist, I had two fender benders and both times my car was in the body shop the very next day getting fixed even though it was only a some scratches. But this car is at the point where it would take some much time and effort to fix that it just isn't worth it on a 20 year old econobox.
I'd take the car for what it is, a reliable daily driver/beater and just live with the damage.
