車体を持ち上げてタイヤも外せばまだ力も入れられたんでしょうけど、さすがに怖いのでそれはやりませんでした。
万が一が起こって車に潰されるのは嫌ですしね(^^;)

少しでもへこみが戻れば楽かなと思ったのですが、諦めてそのままパテ盛りすることにしましたとさ。

I could've put more strength into it if I'd raised the chassis and removed the tire, but naturally, there wasn't enough room to do that. Besides, I didn't want to be crushed by the car if the worst happened. (^^;)

I thought it might make things easier if I could bang out the dent even a little bit, but I decided to give up on that and fill it in as-is with putty.
