Hi all,
i've got a few dents in the ali panels on the locost i'm rebuilding, anybody know of some websites with a step by step guide on the correct
way to repaire them??.
I k now i'll probably end up replacin git anyway but would just like to have a go first.

You could try a shrinking hammer from Frost auto restoration. It turns as hit hit with it hence shrinking the metal and straightening it out.
It also puts nice marks on the panels which are designed to be skimmed and painted over...
Cheers
This is bit of an art-form to do well. Takes LOTS of practice to get right. (and no, I still cant do it right! :p )
The Haynes bodywork repair manual covers this in some basic detail. Its quite a good book actually, lots of usefull stuff in there.
