So I am pretty much stuck trying to figure out what to do about this mess... The previous owner decided to shave the entire car... IDIOT... So what route should I take to remove the dime thick bondo on my doors, and roof?

 

on the doors id use a dye grinder and id try and hammer in a flathead screw driver in the bottom of the roof rail and pry out the body filler.

 

screwdriver and hammer is a go on the rain rails, started doing that, but got late. As for the doors and a dye grinder, wth is that? I guess google is my best friend, here I go...

Wow... I'm an idiot... Didn't know that that is what that tool is called... But I do have one... What attachment do you recommend? just some sandpaper? Or something else like a wire brush attachment?

i'd use a grinder with wire wheel and get everything to the raw metal. and then clean it up

 

buy as many new panels as you can , i would personally. i hate going over some one's crappy work, because it just makes more work. the roof i'd be careful and try an chip most of it out. i never tried it but aircraft stripper may help take off bondo. and either way your gonna have to take it all the way down to metal and build back up.

Yea, find new doors and fenders, it's probably going to be REALLY rough under that concoction of "body work." I hate seeing **** like that, best bet it to wire wheel it and use a DA orbital sander with some 80 grit. I wish you luck that you don't find any surprises under there.
