Drilled round hole in door jam???
Ok everyone, lets see who has the best answer for this one. A guy on the ceta website, bought this t/a over ebay from a dealer. Now that he has received it, he is finding tons of signs of the car being severly modded and switched back, NOS ect...BUT, what the hell is this hole from????????

I have seen them go in from the back like that

Thanks for the responses. I agree with everyone, I seem to think its dent work, but it must have been pretty bad as they could fix just about anything from behind the speaker. To drill in the door, it would be obvious to anyone that there was work done.
Any other signs to tell how bad the damage is, other than taking the wheel off and looking for new parts? The car was received from the shipper with no spare tire, no ashtray, no front cowling in front of radiator, NOS bottle plate holes in spare tire well, diff. cover has fresh rtv leaking from it, whole induction is original but looks like it was found in junkyard and pieced together, and of course this hole. He is still finding things daily, and is going to get it inspected soon. Any other signs to look that is was modded???

UNDERCOATING....its the only way to get into that panel. And BTW, that is the only panel(rear 1/4 on both sides) that are metal, the rest of the body panels are composite. Mine has the same sort of hole(with plug) from the dealership.

In "Rustbelt" territory, it might also be for inserting the "rustproofing" wand for application. In other areas of the Country, this stuff might be sold as "sound deadener"...
