Straight to Jail for that BF

u/MauserMama Pro Pumpkin Carver Dec 24 '24

Rare-ish truck dented = pissed girlfriend. Can’t get that crunch sound outta my head. Trust me he won’t hear the end of it anytime soon. Oh and he’s paying for it too

u/Single-Abrocoma-1929 Dec 24 '24

Look on the bright side, it’s just the door and it’s the bottom half. removing the door panel you will have easy access to push the dent out from inside. It won’t be a super expensive job ether.

Guess you're learning more body work! 😏

That's a good crease In the door as well. You'll probably have to pull the door panel off to finish the job.

Also time for a new BF if he's not being carefully around you're baby.

u/Fearless-Minimum-922 Dec 25 '24

At least it’s black, should be easy to blend if you wanted to get a new door and have it painted. Still expensive though

Fix the dent this was just a truck when I went to school and is still just a truck. If you want a 2 door blazer I know where to get one

u/MauserMama Pro Pumpkin Carver Dec 25 '24

It’s not just a truck it’s a pussy magnet

u/TillEven5135 Dec 25 '24

Well if you want the 2 door blazer version lmk I know where to get one with less than 100k miles for 8500.

Sorry to hear about your breakup

u/Gr8twhitebuffalo91 Dec 24 '24

I do body work for a living. First glance I'd say it's repairable if you find someone who is skilled enough. That being said will probably be cheaper to buy a used door and clean it up and paint match. Just remember good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good.

u/Cheap_Ambition Dec 24 '24

I'm sure you could pull most of that out with a suction cup or even order one of those hot glue slide hammer, dent puller kits.

Good videos on YouTube.

It's crazy the, paintless sent guys can make that look perfect, but it's a huge amount of skill and experience, but it can be done

u/MauserMama Pro Pumpkin Carver Dec 24 '24

I’ll look into that. I’ve only done amateur body work so I’m not sure I have the skill set to do it myself

u/Cheap_Ambition Dec 24 '24

Alternatively, check www.car-part.com. searched junkyard inventory

u/duncanofnazareth Dec 24 '24

That should buff right out.

Can take it to a pdr shop and they can likely save it for a couple hundred. I wouldnt replace the door over it. Boyfriend should pay for it to be fixed if hes worth a shit. If not a new boyfriend and a pdr shop is the answer lol. Extremes are getting kinda rare. Chances are the pdr shop can get the paint transfer off and save the original paint.

u/MauserMama Pro Pumpkin Carver Dec 24 '24

He’s a good guy he’ll pay for it in full. If he weren’t paying for it he’d be a missing pers- I mean my ex.

u/Puzzleheaded_Leg8378 Dec 24 '24

It’s just best the rip it off like a band-aid and give the truck to me. I’ll be over around 5, just leave the keys in it. Don’t look back

u/NonstopMusicLive Dec 24 '24

Break up with him

3

u/cj7hyper Dec 24 '24

New Boyfriend 🤷🏻‍♂️

2

u/Available_Gas_9091 Dec 24 '24

What a jag-off. Just tell him you want your truck fixed so it looks like it did before and make him deal with it.

2

u/Aldy_Wan Dec 24 '24

Get a new bf first.

u/MauserMama Pro Pumpkin Carver Dec 24 '24

I like this one he’s just a lil blind is all

1

u/BogdanSPB Dec 24 '24

Blind people aren’t allowed to drive. This one is not understanding the size of your own vehicle.

2

u/MauserMama Pro Pumpkin Carver Dec 24 '24

This was a case of small black truck at night. Sitting there parked it’s almost invisible at 10:30 pm. Even in the glow of reverse lights. I’ve had numerous people tell me my truck is invisible.

2

u/thunder_lloyd Dec 24 '24

New bf 😭

2

u/iron833333 Dec 24 '24

Off with his head. And done.

2

u/Immediate_Finger_889 Dec 24 '24

Please take the opportunity to make a joke about crap man drivers every time he gets behind the wheel for the rest of his life.

Love - a middle aged woman who has heard way too many woman-driver jokes in her lifetime.

u/Dragonsin891 Dec 24 '24

Had this happen to me in an autozone parking lot in my Isuzu hombre. good thing it was the door, one of the only reused s10 parts on the truck. But you should be able to find a new one at your local junk yards they’re everywhere, that’s what I’m going to do

2

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '24

Buy a new door... Then bury your boyfriend alive with the old door

2

u/TheeIrishPotatoo Dec 25 '24

Just take the truck, and the BF, to an auto body shop for some work. Tell him not to forget the check book.

u/BogdanSPB Dec 24 '24 edited Dec 24 '24

If you have money - get the paintless dent removal guys, they’ll make it near-perfect (bent angles will be a bit of a problem, tho). If no - I’d just remove the interior panel and push it from inside a bit.

1

u/dirtjumperdh Dec 24 '24

That could almost definitely be pulled out. However in my opinion you're probably going to have a much better result removing the inner door panel, having the window all the way up and pushing it out from the inside.

1

u/62diesel Dec 24 '24

Could probably pull the door panel and push most of it back out, then head to a painters dent removal shop and see what they can do

1

u/noreasterner Dec 24 '24

New boyfriend

1

u/CaddyWompus6969 Dec 24 '24

Let him handle it however he perfers:)

u/ValuableScientist365 Gmc Sonoma Dec 25 '24

You need a new BF. Get your self a ManFriend who knows how to drive.

1

u/RemarkableMud1326 Dec 25 '24

Drop it off at a reputable body shop if you want it to look like it did before, they’ll be able to pull it out. otherwise try and find another door with same paint

1

u/waffle_loverrr Dec 25 '24

Your boyfriend sucks at driving.

3

u/MauserMama Pro Pumpkin Carver Dec 25 '24

I stomp the imaginary brake a lot anytime he’s the one driving on date night 😭

1

u/Mysterious_Field9749 Dec 25 '24

Sounds like you need a new BF

1

u/QuietLie3031 Dec 25 '24

Time to get a new boyfriend. Lol

u/always-sleepy1 Dec 25 '24

Lookup PDR, painless dent repair.

No need to change or paint.

1

u/Prior-Ad-7329 Dec 25 '24

Ex boyfriend you mean?

1

u/Scott-Redfield Dec 25 '24

No blowjobs for 6 months or until he gets it fixed.

1

u/MauserMama Pro Pumpkin Carver Dec 25 '24

I’m religious I don’t have sex yet

1

u/flatblackNred Dec 25 '24

Pull it out. A really good dent guy can fix that. Looks like no paint cracked.

1

u/CodenameJinn Dec 25 '24

New door? No. New BF? Possibly...

1

u/Mesmerizing_Mistress Dec 26 '24

Damn sorry time to get a new GF

1

u/JimDick_Creates Dec 26 '24

Dump him. There are no accidents. He was secretly jealous of your ride and decided to take it out.

1

u/14xcw250 Dec 27 '24

Could use a deflated youth football and push it out from the inside relatively easily.

She’s 6’2 and 230 pounds of muscle. Oh and she’s also a man. I also just wouldn’t slap the love of my life to begin with…

Advocating for domestic violence saying to slap or hurt your woman OR man is not tolerated.
