Package Tray and Backseat
It appears the drivers quarter was hit directly over the wheel. Hit looks like it happend high. The shop that fixed the car just pulled the wrinkled outer wheel house out and dropped a new quarter on. What never seemed to car about was the inner wheel house actually buckled where it meets the trunk floor and shifted into the trunk space. Not hard to fix. I had to remove the package tray outer trunk panel from the quarter/roof section and then after a some thought had to install a bracing setup to allow me to use a hydraulic ram to push back on the wheel house to roof structure. It actually was really easy to get it to move back out. Did a few dimensional checks to the passenger side and it all went right back into place.
I had to remove both the upper package tray wing, and lower wing that mountes to the outer wheelhouse. Once straitented I put them back in place along with a new donar seat back panel.
