I've made some discoveries:



I bet you could convince someone that Jesus appeared in your body panel and sell it.

If you follow the body line on the bottom of the door, you'll notice that it suddenly disappears just beyond the door gap, due to the sloppy DIY bondo job.

It looks like it was caked on and then rattle-canned, without even being sanded first.

Is it just the paint, or is it a dent? I know rear quarter-panels can be pricey to get repaired.

People (normally) don't use bondo for anything other than filling dents, or other similar imperfections. You can see the chunky build-up of bondo in the door gap, along the fender well, and the body line along the rocker panel. It looks like they filled part of the door, too.

Perhaps, but not likely. More often than not, the larger portion of the dent can be pulled out with the use of a Spitznagel. Then it's on to the body hammers, dolly's, and then the finishing process.
