Yowzer Holy Buckets of Bondo Batman..... Not a very solid start. Gonna have to dig in deep this go around, this has got to be the most bondo I have ever seen on a car before. Will took a grinder to the car today and sent me a couple of photos for your enjoyment.

Might need an entire front clip. Of course we will not know the total extent of the damage until all the bondo has been removed. I have lucked out and Bob @ Big Bob's Bugs happens to have a front clip off of a 69 that he cut off years ago because it had never been hit.

Poor Ethan, I think you have the Bondo curse. But the Ghia will live I'm sure.

Yeah, I don't think it's going to be all that bad once you get all that crap off.. I think it's just someone didn't know what they were doing.. There's absolutely no way that car is that bad on every panel..
