Holey Thick Bondo
Posted by Keegan Chaput On 2011/1/9 15:16:06
After much delay, I finally got to do a little more work. I welded the second rear body mount into place.
Time to attack some of the more severe rust. The worst of it is the Driver's side rear wheel well. I could tell that there was filler on the panel, but it didn't know there was so much.
Instead of trying to sand it all off, which would have taken forever, I drilled holes through the thickest parts. Then used a cutoff wheel to score the rest with a grid pattern and used a chisel to knock the rest of it off.
They had well over a half inch of bondo, and there wasn't any metal to back it up. They just filled the giant whole with filler and repainted.
Now I'm wondering if the repair panels from classics2current are worth the $130 they're charging.
