The job was done by the paint shop (bare metal) in reply to all the nasty comments I have received
I didn't ask them to do it, as they know I couldn't care less how long it takes to respray the car.
The stripping down back to bare metal was done a certain way, to show me what was underneath the paint,
and also to show you all that it would have been taken back to bare metal at one point.
LOTS and LOTS of old filler, I was surprised to see the amount used
The car WAS in an accident, we can now see where it was repaired. We know it's a very old job.
However, the car is very sound. No nasty surprises, nothing rotten
What you will see in the pictures is the amount of filler that was applied to the body.
This is just what I would call "bare metal stage 1" You can clearly see the new filler and the old one in comparison.
Yes, no glass or trim was removed, but it's "stage 1"
We know for sure that the car was taken back to almost bare metal last time it was resprayed.
We did spot the original paint work.
Pictures to follow soon.
The rear passenger side panel has been replaced previously, we can see where it was cut and welded.
The driver side was pulled out, there's a hole in the hood (small pen size). The front of the hood and filled with filler....

THE ONLY FILLER APPLIED FROM THIS SHOP IS LOCATED ON:
THE FENDER LIPS
THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE PANEL: the two big white, yellow(ish) patch
SOME "MUD" ON THE PASSENGER DOOR AND PASSENGER SIDE FENDER
The rest, it's the old filler
