    bad dent on car

    hey all i got this nasty dent on the back of my 89 lx-i and was wondering is it easier to work with what is there or go to the junk yard and cut what i need off another 3g and weld it on? here are some pics of the damage. the previous owner was rear ended and it was all caved in when i got it
