Fixing horrible bondo job

I just bought a Civic for $600 but the passenger side has a horrible bondo job any suggestions or how much you think it would cost to get this thing looking good thank you

Re: Fixing horrible bondo job

Not worth fixing on a $600 car in my opinion.
Would be at least $2k at a body shop.
You need to grind out all the bondo to bare metal, and then do proper metal work, and then a skim coat of filler, then paint. That quarter panel may need to be cut out and have a replacement panel welded in.
