Attached are pictures of the one bad spot on my car (that I know of) and I'm hoping to get some feedback on it. Other than this spot, the car had little to no rust or prior repairs done. It looks to me, like there was some shotty bondo work done to my right rear quarter panel, and it has bubbled and the paint is peeling.
My question is a two parter.
1) to get this professionally fixed.. would I be in for a fortune to make this right? After we pass the couple to three thousand dollar mark for repairs and paint, it might be cheaper to find a roller GT to bolt my setup in (not preferred at all, foxbody prices are through the roof). What do you guys think?
2) for a DIY guy with no experience in body work or paint.. is this too big a task for me to take on? I've been watching vids and reading articles about prepping the car yourself to bring down cost. Paint wise, I can see.. But I'm worried this is outside the realm of reality for an amature to do right. Has anyone here had success with this kind of body work / repair before? Any recommendations on how to go about this? Is this as bad as it looks?
Thank you for any time and help you can offer!!
