Default Can you bring BACK side moldings

I got a friend who wants to sell me his DA with a B16 for a fair price ($2000), but the only thing that stops me from getting it he shaved the moldings . Well kinda, he used bondo, or fiberglass, didnt weld em, and they look like *** . So I was wondering, is it possible to bring the side molding indentations, or pass it up?

Anything is possible. I'm sure the bondo can be removed somehow. Try taking it to a bodyshop and see what they say.

Definitely buy it, the motor alone is worth the asking price.

it can be removed since its only bondo and fiberglass.. a friend of mine shaved his moldings and it was done professionally welding and everything about a year later he took it back to the shop where he got it done in the first place and they removed it for him and straighten the body line back up to stock. Bonda and fiberglass shouldnt be hard at all , just some sanding.
