Time for another fox story from the grey room... for if you like bodywork stuffs.
So my current job had this grey primer patch on it, covering some nasty unfinished bondo. There was too much on it and still wasn't enough.
Talking about below the quarter window, the one where you can see rust from here. Spot at the rear had no filler on it yet.
So I sanded enough off to get a better idea what was underneath...
... yeah not lookin too good! A decision was made to dig it out.
Yep thats what some call fixed. There was even a little rust under the mud.
To stay fair... that was obviously a collision repair. It was probably done in a normal body shop for an insurance claim. I'm restoring. Not taking it all the way, but creating a stable base for our paint job. Different, a little. That bondo wasn't going to last.
So I went at it most of the day. It was awful deep in places, the whole area was mashed in clear back to the wheelwell.
Don't blink or you'll miss the holes being welded up-
And off I go, on to the rear section of the quarter. And another rocker dent that was hidden before teardown. Its a living.
