It Gets Better

Further layers of bondo removed; new surprises revealed. There was obviously some splitting of metal when the Sprite was hit, as evidenced by the weld scar in the photos below.

Progress

At first I thought there might be holes in the metal as the bondo came off, but thankfully that wasn't the case. The wrinkled condition of the rear doesn't make repairing it any easier, but I could just re-bondo this area if necessary. 


Being the perfectionist I am, new panels may be the more likely scenario.

Wrinkled Ass

No, no...this is not a post endorsing some new space-age (aren't we already in that age, btw) anti wrinkle cream for butts. 


Hmm...now I am wondering if such a product exists. 


*Googling....*


Well, looky here, there is such a thing as cream for tightening your butt. 


Amazing.


Back on topic. I spent a short time stripping some bondo from the Bugeye's ass today. The rear of the car was it at some point it its life, and with every layer of bondo removed, I am finding out why it was used instead of pounding out the dent. See below for the gruesome truth being uncovered.

Damn!

There is a nice wrinkle that makes me wonder if replacing the entire middle, rear panel (where a trunk lid would be for normal cars) would be the easier repair.


Maybe some of that Brazilian butt cream would help?
