How to Restore the Body Panels of an Audi 80?

Model: Audi 80 B4 - Years 1991-1995
Part: Body

The process of hammering the body panels of a vehicle, while we focus on the Audi 80, applies to all cars. This is done using a specific hammer and a suitable backing surface, as shown in the attached video tutorial. Wood of appropriate dimensions is one of the most suitable materials. If you have some experience, it is undoubtedly better, but with patience and precision, you can achieve the desired results. It is important to control the hammer blows, respecting the original shape of the panel and progressively removing the dents. Any cracks in the paint should be restored later.
