looks like the dent has been covered in bondo, maybe a little thick as cracks have developed. will have to take it out first. thanxs

Fill it to the top with water, put the cap back on and put it in the freezer for a day. May have to repeat if its a large dent.

was thinking of heating the dent up and then spraying it with some cold shot. like they do at the body shop
