Before today, if I'd been asked about the worst example of body work I've ever seen, I'd have been choosing between a few really, really bad Bondo jobs I've seen over the years. One poor Ford Fiesta I once knew had so much filler on the front end it looked like a clay pot coming at you. Records are made to be broken, and that Fiesta just got knocked off the block by a maroon conversion van. Wow. I'll let the photo speak for itself, but I think you'll agree that it's some pretty low-quality work.
Don't let your car or truck be the butt of jokes, learn how to do decent body work and you'll save serious money at the body shop while keeping your car off blogs like this.
