Heres a worklog of a car belongs to a friend of mine that I'm working on at the moment. I'm too lazy to describe shit so I figured the PICS would do the talking

I know he better off with a cleaner shell but finding a better condition like this one for cheap (even if you could find one!) is gonna be a huge PITA.
Honestly the condition isn't that bad. I've seen worse with bunch of rust spots but this one is actually pretty clean minus the shoddy repair/bondo work which I'm gonna sort them out obviously!
I'm gonna strip them to the bare metal, replacing most of the weatherstrips (if available) and doing some tastefully done mods while we're at it

That's going to be a fun project, man! Did you ever find out what the deal was with the lug conversion? How he did it?
Glad it's getting some love!
A bit rough like you said, but doesn't look too bad. At least the attention has hopefully kept the rust from getting out of control.
I know those side creases can be hard to get perfect.
Definately looking forward to the end results & hope you don't uncover too many horrors along the way.
I have yet to take the wheels off as its using this stupid lug nuts grrOriginally Posted by 2ndGenGuy

Holy shit dude, you have a lot of work ahead of you there! Gotta fix every square inch of it! Your job is cut out for you man!
What the heck did that car go through to have all that Bondo on it? It sure will grant you a wonderful sense of accomplishment when you are all done!
Who the fuck knows! I don't see any reason why the doors need that much of a bondo really. What the fuck are they thinking?!
looks like they wanted it to be a widebody, so they just kept adding bog to make it wider lol
Don't give them silly ideas now will you?
Anyway so done stripping the roof and trunk (Y)
WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN
Somebody need to be shot -.-
Woah dude, time for a welder. Are you gonna cut those out and weld in new pieces?
your making me wanna strip the like half inch thick of bondo off my qp on the civic to find out whats behind it >< >< . when you get done with that ima gets u to usdm land to fix it (Y)

Amazing!
They had welder but were afraid of removing the rusty metal underneath, cutting metal to fit & welding all the way round?
Great progress, amazing in a far better way.

Yikes with that rust! Hopefully you can cut out and weld in some patch panels.
Yeah, i was wondering if paint remover or heat gun. I would use a flame thrower lol. Amazingly, under all that crappy bondo, the body looks pretty straight! I think your friend cant believe that under all that there is a car!
Excellent job so far.
So many reasons why
