Removed the layers of filler off the panel today. Had four distinct layers of filler, with the last one being a version of tiger hair. Neat part was the change in filler, or hardener that changed the colors by layer. Not sure if it was intentional, but amusing nonetheless.
That last one was a real pain in the ass to strip off. But when I did, I was left with a Swiss cheese looking panel like this:
Hello and welcome to the wonderful world of Morons, Psychopaths and Mental Defectives!
We are making today's short bus / window licker trip to Tyrell's school of body panel repair. Here is some real old school hacking right there folks. Drill a bunch of holes so you can put instruments in there to pull out the dent, but don't bother to weld up the holes when we have all the plastic filler you could ever need!
Have seen better work on some of the ghetto versions of Asian tuners buzzing around.
Need to cut out the offending metal work and weld in a new panel, or carve a piece from a scrapped Vanagon.
Some supplier of used parts in Indiana wanted $200 plus S&H for the piece, and said he could get it to me in three weeks. I am still looking.
