The basic configuration of the car includes such accessories as:

So I decided to show the history of the repair of one car.
Auto 2011, would be older, there would be no point in restoring it. And since the machine is fresh, you can tinker. The work will pay off.
A blow to the front left side, the car spun and the entire right side was damaged.
We install the car on the slipway.
Let's start the repairs from the rear, as it has suffered the least. And we will move to the front end.
First, we drill out the rear fender. Then we pull out the arch. Despite the fact that both the wing and the arch will change, they must first be extended.
In the video, I first dismantle only part of the wing, since I ordered a quarter of the body for disassembly and I did not know which piece of the body would come.
Next, I reinforce the body (weld on the corners) so that the roof does not move after removing the arch and the C-pillar amplifier. Cut out the arch, amplifier. I prepare the surfaces and weld the entire body assembly (outer arch, inner arch and fender).
Do not forget to preset the gaps between the wing and the trunk, the wing and the door. And be sure to check how the rear window fits into the opening.

As you noticed in the video, the wing was exposed on the door from another car, borrowed from a nearby service station. Well, now we will restore our own door.
First, I stretched the door lengthwise to correct the kink in the center. But the door was badly damaged. Therefore, it had to be expanded and restored in detail.The frame is separate, the cover plate (shirt, panel, in different areas is called differently) separately.
We tap the frame on the doorway.

And after that, we roll the trimmed overlay into place. We weld and clean the cuts.
