I screwed up
Do you think this is repairable??

Ouch. Theoretically it is, but….

Take the guard out into the back yard and put it painted side down on the grass.  A mulched or wood-chipped garden bed will work just as well.  Then stand on the creases.
If you have a rubber mallet, work the lip of the wheel arch back towards its original profile.
You might need to twist the bottom rear corner of the guard back into true.

Then you can bolt the guard on and examine your work so far.
Everything's repairable, it's just a question of the effort to repair the guard versus the effort of finding another good one.

Remember: if your Holden's not leaking oil, it doesn't have any.

I have done this in the past with a creased bonnet using conveyor belt rubber.

Best of luck with repairing it - plenty of work involved. If time is on your hands and you have patience it can be done. Alternative is to buy a spare if you can and take your time with this one. Keeping it a s a spare will guarantee that you won't need it, until you sell it off to clear the shed space and do!
