The Progression of fixing my cb7 Rust

[Maple50175]

Well dudes I was fed up with the rust so i took things in my own hands. I couldnt stand lookin at it anymore so yeah out comes the sandpaper and bondo. Now since i started at about 4:30 at night i didnt have time to finish it. I fixed both my filler panels and i did one wheel well in the corner. I still need to redo it to make it all smooth. I have pics i neeed to load and ill do that after my interview at the UPS store. But man you gotta see the hole i jabbed out with a screwdriver

If you aren't planing on welding in new metal you should use atleast fiberglass to support the bondo. The Bondo will begin to crack and come loss as soon as the car begins to flex.

Yeah well i just got pissed at it so i had to do something

by the way im not done yet i had to rush because it started to rain and it got dark out and mosquitos suck

[Maple50175]

[92accordDx]

you got alot of sanding to do im guessing you just let it dry and just spray painted over it.

[Maple50175]

Hahaha...good luck making that bondo hold up that long. Dont get me wrong, I give you props for at least attempting to DIY, but you could have at least done a little researching on body work, just slapping huge globs of bondo to fill holes isnt gonna cut it.

If you decide to redo it, I suggest trying fiberglass, or if you must stick with the bondo, at least pop-rivet some sort of metal or mesh behind it(for support), then apply the bondo in THIN layers, not one thick layer.

good attempt, paint the rear bumper at the same time

listen to the wise people

[ACCORDinglynice]

weld a patch its just gonna come right back

[JaK FRoSTWhiTE]

Yeah, like everyone else said.
You better weld new metal.
If not, that shit is going to come back.
Trust me, it already happened to my friend.
He went the Bondo-Way, and lost the battle.
