sounds like a flesh wound 
amazing how quick things happen once you get out of shape and enter that "passenger with a steering wheel in your hands" scenario

Many years ago (like 25+), I was going into town and thought a handbrake induced drift onto next road (at T- junction) would be a laugh. Pulled up
handbrake and did perfect 180 turn (spin?) and ended up at junction facing way I'd just come
Tried doing handbrake turns in alfasud, only to find handbrake worked on front wheels

You may get the crease out using a hot air gun and a lever from behind? Wide open spaces are often the best place to practise hand brake turns!

I did the same in a citroen BX!
It just ploughed straight on, didn't hit anything though
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I went off a rather lumpy undulating country road into and accross a ploughed field in a Citroen BX whilst leaerning why Citroen never campaigned them
or their suspension in rallying
But fortunatly raining to the high position allowed me to drive out again with no external assistance, just a lot of mud underneath
