So what to do....

So I finally ground down a really good chunk of bondo...


and I found out that the front valance was previously patched..

But somehow, the guy who did the body work before me decided to patch it sunken in about a 1/4 inch....

The top part of the valance is so wavy that you can surf on it...
Another shot of the panel that makes me sad...
The valance is a mess, my instructors advise? Cut out the bad repair
and so I cut...

Cut some more
And we cut out the whole of the bad patch job. Now my dilemma, the panel is a mess, I mean there's so many lows and highs, I almost don't know where to start. Right now, I'm considering spending some money and buying a new valance, I don't even know if we can save the panel or if it's even worth it...

More to come later..time to crack open an ABITA and get me some sleep

I'm so depressed I want to burn my car down

So, I was happily sanding down the filler work getting ready for primer....

Getting as much of it off as possible, getting my lines right...



Then THIS! What the F*** is this???!?! Separated the fender from the front valance to straighten insane bodge job that the previous owner decided to just fill...

and fill.........

more filling....
Holy Crap how far does this go....

in some areas....this crap was at least a 1/2" thick...


I want to cry and dump my car in the garbage...oh how I love finding out how bad the body really is.....
