14.4. Repair of seriously damaged body panels
Such repair has to be made in the conditions of a specialized workshop with use of the special equipment.
In case of extensive damages first of all it is necessary to check whether there was no shift and deformation of the bearing body panels capable to exert impact on controllability of the car, or leading to acceleration of wear any of its working components (for example, tires).

More often much more reasonably and more economic it appears to find a suitable replaceable component which can be found not only in shops of automobile spare parts, but also on automobile dismantling or dumps that is natural, allows to cut down expenses.
