Pulled my rear fenders, fixed body shop screw up
So a couple months ago I paid a body shop to roll my fenders...this is how they rolled it:
HORRIBLE. And they charged me $500 to roll them too.
So I heated up the fender, used some vice grips and pulled the lip back, cleaned out the crevice (there was lots of dirt and rocks in there), heated up and lip and kept moderate heat on the fender, and hammered it into place with a hammer.
The Result:
Took me 2 hours to do BOTH sides.
After I rolled it nicely, I started the pull
More pics:
Went from rubbing on a 19x10 +22 (215/40) to clearing a 19x10 +5 (235/35)

Yeah down here in Seattle...I washed my car 2 days ago and promptly got caught in a freakin' downpour/hailstorm the next day. I wash it and it immediately gets doused in road grime from the rain or something every damn time.
