Default Subaru with acne :/

Hi, all.

Just recently joined this forum.

I own a base model, late 05 (pig nose) Impreza. I managed to get it for $5250 at pickles. Great bargain if you ask me. 56k on the clock when I bought it mid october last year. The only problem I had was with the battery and of course the hail dents.

These little buggers are tiny, and number to around 30 - 40. Most are on the bonnet.

I'm looking for the cheapest way to get this patched up. I'd like to sell this car for either a Legacy or Forester.

Any help would be great.

Welcome.

If the bonnet looks anything like the bonnet on my liberty, you'd be cheaper replacing the bonnet and getting it sprayed.

@Rossco:
I've tried, but it's been difficult for me to find a wrecker with this model's bonnet. Any pointers to some good subie wreckers in Perth would be great/

@Gumby:
Replacement it is.

@GX-REX:
It's an 06. The hawk-eye/pig nose one. You can see the grill in the pic.

@Balistic:
Thanks, man. Checking it out now.

@Red dragon2002:
Thanks, bro.

Damn bargain at that price with the low K's... replace battery? Big deal. And yeh, suss out Stu (think that's his name) @ Dentcraft for a fixit price before you look at bonnet replacement... apparently the guy's a whiz at this paintless dent removal stuff. Could work out cheaper and ya don't have the hassle of sourcing another bonnet, then probably needing to paint, match-up paint codes etc.
