Default BONDO n FIBERGLASS, Can You Remove Them Easily? Basically dericing my car

So Ive drove my Crx around for last year and this the second summer. The body work I did must have been shitty because it seems to be cracking/chipping already.

What I have is a fully molded Invader body kit and I had some rusty rear quarter panels so I just cut out the rust and threw some fiberglass over it annd by the time I was done fiberglassing/bondo, it looks like a wide body. Honestly I get that comment alot.

:Yo is that a wide body Crx kit:

There really is that much **** there.

So I was wonderring if its possible to buy something that I can remove all this **** easily.

Theres also a mound on the bottom of my doors but Ill be buying a wings west Rs kit so it has door caps so the rust will be coverred with the bondo removed

I will be doing this all after this summer/maybe earlier. I jsut dont want to sell the car because I have the entire floor/frame redone with countless hours of welding.

Just wanna change the body

Thanks for any info

Why is it not worth it? The floor is immaculate and will last forever, the interior is also mint and the engine was just swapped.

Do you guys think that Aircraft paint Remover would take off the bondo as well?
**** would that ever help

ALOT OF FIBERGLASS!

To mcu mess and time to get rid of it all, and 3 cans or whatever cant be to much, just spray it on, on the side of the road, scrape it off and voila

Just wanna know if it will work or if any other products will

You have to sand it down. It will take a lot of work but that is how it's done.

Any body panel that can be unbolted should be replaced with new/used body panels, and you said you welded on a new floor, then do the same with the quarter panel.
