I'm repairing a car that was given to me and getting it ready for a RWC
I found damage along these rails (picture below, but not my car) the damage isn't as bad, there are just a couple of bends in the same spot.

I'm just hoping to hear the advice of people that have had similar problems or anyone that has more knowledge than i do. (Probably everyone that reads this thread)
Should i have a go at it with a hammer?
Leave it if it doesn't stop me getting a RWC?
Get a professional to look at it?

Thanks heaps guys.

Was about to say, you've just gone and made the whole situation worse by putting the stand in the wrong spot.

It is not strucutual hence wont affect RWC.
