no chance of it being pulled out and filled tho

You can get a new rear quarter if the panel cannot be pulled out and filled etc. Damage is quite low down so you could have bend something else too.

There's nothing behind there, I had similar damage on mine many years ago, bodyshop will just weld rods on and tug on them, its fairly standard practise.

no exactly the same happened to steves, almost identical dent, needed the rear quarter replacing, cost the insurance about 1600 to fix
