which is the award I would give to the cretin who repaired this car in the past.
this for instance, is the lumpage of filler located around the rear seat belt mounting point..,

this is the void that should be the lower b-post section and protect occupants. Here it is largely made up of fresh air

The d-post (goalpost) and lower cross member were barely attached but in good order

This is the afore mentioned rear seat belt mounting. as you might see below it the inner arch is double skinned (usually foreskin... single skinned). the seatbelt mount was held between the two skins with filler. un fuckin believable. nobody in the history of ever would have taken a step back from this and thought "yeah, I done good"

the outer repair to the b-pillar was pulled away from the p-post and sill by hand. ffs . really?

And then the clammy cold feeling works its way up your neck! "what if the same person "welded" the inner and outer sill sections together?" .... yep

Somewhat paradoxically it took me less time to loosely fix replacement panels than it took me to remove the shite bodges

B-pillar was rebuilt using 18 gauge steel repair sections. and all of a sudden the LH passenger door shuts nice every time

The open face of the LH door looks worse now because of no paint.. but is infinity % better

Don't ban the use of filler, just execute those who use it inappropriately
One more to come
