Just used my van to move a gate post

A tiny error in judgement has resulted in a rather impressive hole on the rear wing (passenger side / sliding door).

So a question: fixable with filler, or replace the whole panel?







Oh and the gate post will die at the hands of an angle grinder at the weekend.

i would say weld in a cut from a 2nd hand wheel arch. No point doing the whole panel or arch as it looks like that will lead to some rust discovery..

Tickle it with a hammer to something like, weld it together then some filler. It will get you going again.
