What’s the worst amount of body damage/bondo you discovered after you bought the car??
My old '67 Barracuda. Car was hit in the right front and laid the cowl vertical back 45 degrees. Just mud, no attempt to fix it. I fixed it. Right quarter was hit, then a "body man" hammered it until it was badly stretched. Then mud, a lot of mud. Then the quarter didn't match the decent door so they mudded the door, then the door didn't match the fender, yup, MORE MUD. I am a hack at body work, but I had a friend help me to shrink the quarter to something manageable.
The car was never near perfect, but was fun to drive with the 383/727 swapped in from my old '69 Polara. Even hooked up the AC, but never finished sealing it.
First pic is what it looked like when we started tearing it apart. Then the done car. No pics of the damage that I have come across.
