And now we have 2

Yesterday we bought another HHR to go with our panel. It’s also a 2007, but it is a 1LT Sportwagon. It has several dents and dings in the body, but overall in good shape. The engine was recently rebuilt, previous owner owns a garage, he also replaced all the front end components. New tires on it also. I have some cleaning up to do and a trip to the PDR place to see if they can get some of the dents out. Most notably the top of the right front fender. Here is the only picture I have so far, I will post more after a good cleaning.
picture of our panel just for comparison

2nd HHR

Congrats! I'm on the search for the specialty HHR with the special features low mileage,... & at the right deal too.
Got too many others in the stable at the moment.
2004 Blazer, 1999 Astro, 2001 E350 Passneger All white and one owner USA government auction aquisitions.
After I convert these to $$$ I'll be on a more serious pursuit.

That will work, but pull the inner fender liner and use a body dolly with a curved edge to push up on the dent while trying to suction the dent. It will help keep the movement of the metal more even. Harbor freight has a body hammer kit that has a couple of dollies in that should work fine.

I got one of those and tried it, the shape of the dent kept it from making a seal to pull a vacuum. I will probably have to get a body dolly set and try that.
