but the thing is... doesnt it look like it would cost me more to fix, then find a clean shell?

Sometimes you cant look at it that way,it may cost you more to replace what youve already got and besides when you do it yourself you know what "you" have put into it and not someone else,to me it looks like a diamond in the rough..... i say keep it youve got support here!!!!

there's a NOS tail panel on ebay right now...

last I looked it was at 350.00...

the last "straight shell" I saw they wanted 1200.00 reserve and got 1300 and change on ebay for it...

you decide...

It looks like the whole car needs to be taken down to metal. I say get some DP and get to work, with an air compressor that big you should have it knocked out in no time! Take a frig magnet to all your buddies cars, I bet all of them are full of putty.

I'd start with the worst section first...(it's hard to make it much worse so your already ahead)

 

Take your time with a hammer and dolly and use you hands alot to check the surface..

 

It should clean up nice with some work and a little bondo
