How to remove dent?

[Dinoboy]

I've had a go at pushing this bootlid dent out from the inside. Heat applied with a heat gun, managed to push it out to a very small degree.

I'd imagine these old Merc's have fairly heavy gauge metalwork, any suggestions?

Do you have a rubber hammer? Also, a stripey line board will help a lot with the tweaks. I am assuming the paintwork is undamaged here.

My lad has a few dings on his Fiat 500 that were there when I got it for him. I’ve been so tempted to buy one of the kits on Amazon that use a glue and puller, light bar and taps to knock back. I’m good with DIY etc but just can’t commit in case I make it worse.

PS Nice motor.

I do have a rubber hammer, however the inner side of the dented panel is only accessible through a hole in the inner panel unfortunately.

Thats a job for a good dent repair guy, I've used the same bloke three times over a number of years who does dent repairs for all the main dealers and he would have that fixed perfectly in 10mins

I've actually messaged a couple of dent devil type guys and both said they wouldn't touch it.
