Not a single fuck was given here, the derp who owned this car made a HUGE bondo patch on the bottom of the gas cap, normally i would take the time to shape a piece of metal around here, or flat out buy a replacement panel, but in all honesty i really don't give a fuck, i will probably sell the car in the next 5 years so the next guy can deal with this one. 
Started to build up the bondo in small layers i will reshape it later when it drys. I'm limited in the amount of work i can do at the moment due to my shoulder being fucked up, so i'm keeping everything simple. 
Rear hatch digging for rust, scraping paint away as i go lucky for me it was nothing serious and a few passes with the electric sander took all the surface rust away.
I don't plan on putting the emblems back on the back since my BRE spoiler will be going there, gonna fill the holes up with bondo. The passenger side isn't too bad either just surface rust. 
If you're wondering why there are large patches of bondo its for 2 reasons. 1) its covering the large expanse of metal underneath it. 2) there is actually a big step down from paint to metal, the bondo will help even this out when i sand the car down for primer and paint. The Black primer is to help find imperfections i cant normally see in the bondo. 
My Girlfriend actually sanded a lot of this because i couldn't, 2 small patches where i fucked up on the passenger side, other then that it looks good. 
Cut out the rotted area of the rocker panel, wire brushed the rest of the rust and POR 15'd the shit out of it.. hoping for the best here. 
Cutting around rust spots with a cutting wheel 
Lol frame rails
Gonna clean this one up later with the sawzall, i can only fit the cutting wheel in larger areas.
lolrust, and my girlfriends legsNEXT DAY
Dash back in with gauges, looks great sorry for the blurry picture.
Cut wires, Although i am pretty sure this is just for the climate control and radio / speakers im not totally sure. I still need to find out if the engine harness plugs into the EFI bracket on the driver side. Also, i need to find out where the fuck the hazard light harness went.. its missing. 
Mostly put back together for now, i needed to free up space in the garage for my dads birthday party this easter sunday. 
Spoke to one of my dads friends at the american legion tonight, he does alot of welding work building big stainless tubs or something like that, but the best part is the guy builds racecars in his spare time and races at holland speedway.
He loves the look of the classic Z cars and has offered to help me out with all body work and welding on this car, the entire rear end will be filled in and smoothed out, and because i will be slamming this car to the ground the exhaust will probably come out of the rear end sort of like this, off to the left side though and it'll have an exhaust shield above it.
