Its called project previous owner because all the work being done is because of the previous owner... body is banged up and bondo'd, interior (trunk)is stripped, and in other words you nico guys will be seing alot of my car being worked on

Here is that previous owners bondo work (CRACKED) and even after they bondo'd, there is still a big dent

Luckily the interior body panel has a opening right where the dent is and shows the previous owners dent pulling skills

So first i got a screw driver and started peeling away the 1" of BAD bondo

Then I used a good sized 4x4 and a 2x4 and about a 5lb sledge hammer and busted that dent back out

Then i popped out the screw driver and hammer and started going at peeling the bondo again

ll Sig showing how it sits now... gunna buy a grinder a tomorrow l and start grinding the bondo down to bare metal... then do somel more metal persuading and re bondo!!! yayv
