That was a quickie respray, bondo, and fix up job.
I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole.
Ding! Winner!
well i have some tiny holes on mine i have to bondo up but theres that one big hole i haveto put metal under then a thin layer on bondo but im not using bondo to cover up just more or less to fill with a thin layer
Arrrggghhh! Bondo is not glue, and should not be used to patch even SMALL holes. The bondo will go through the hole, and protrude on the back side. Since you won't be able to seal that properly, it will absorb water, because bondo absorbs water. Your small holes will slowly turn into large holes. Large holes need to be cut back to good metal, have a patch welded in, and then straightened up with a hammer and dolly. Then maybe a little skim coat to true things up. If that's beyond your skill set, pay someone else to do it. If neither are those are options, you're better off leaving the holes alone.
i guess you are all missing the real close up picture.lol that car has at least 3 gallonse of bondo in it!. look at the pic of the driver side lower quarter. the close-up one. if you look, you can see that it has so much bondo, the panel is no loger straight!.
Exactly.
paint the rims, lose the wing, ditch the gts badges, and fix the scoops, and I guess it would be drivable without undue embarrassment
Except for the paint peeling off and hitting the cars behind you as you drive. Kinda like sitting next to someone with really bad dandruff.
Well the car may not be to your or my taste, but it seems to me he did a fair job of disclosure. He DID after show closeups of "the blems" and he doesn't seem to be claiming the car is something it's not.
There's a reason everyone that's trying to "flip" a car puts a quickie paint job on it. He may disclose a few things, but even people that know what they're doing may not see, or be able to find, everything that paint covers. Even if the future owner knows some of the story, its unlikely they'll know it all until a year or two from now, when the paint starts falling off, the improperly applied bondo swells and cracks, and the whole thing starts looking even worse than it did before the cheapo paint job. Buyer beware.
As far as the body colored rims, that's just my opinion. Black on black, yes. Blue, yes. I've even seen a set of green body matched rims I really liked. But yellow, orange and red- sorry guys. If you like them, more power to ya. I can't wrap my head around it.
