Update..
Not a very good day on Friday..
Getting the hatch ready for paint.
Fixing the lines on the door i meesed up.
Put the hood back on the front after primering it.
Primered /Sealing the sail panel.
Started to roll the fender and found out some more bad news. Found out the people that did the work just used 1/4 in of bondo to fix a dent.
Another shoot of the bondo.
Shitty body shop drilled holes to pop out some of the dents and didn't even weld up the holes.
We needed to see how bad the damage really was... We got out a grinder and just went at it.. Car probably has 15 pounds of bondo on the one panel.
Took it all down to metal to see what im working with.. Im to scared to go any closer to the edge of the door ...Im afraid it might be all bondo too.

I took off all the trim ,handles, locks anything that needed to come off is off.
Everything will be painted off the car if it can be. So it looks that much better.
I sanded the Sail Panel down to the fiber glass and put a new sealer on it so the bubbles don't come back.

looks like you're making a lot of progress Sean. These dumb foks that are doing mine are simply stupid or on crack I think. After the show Sunday, I took it right back to the shop.

They were fixing a small ding in the rear driver's side quarter panel, and adding something to the car. they've fuked the quarter panel 2 times, now there is a buffer burn on the hood, and buffer scuffs on the passenger side door, and the quarter panel still looks like ****....
Some folks have no buisiness doing what they do.
