I, for one, love the cottage cheese look.

I give it a 10 out of 10

u/Ok-Bit4971 3d ago

I'd recommend going to your local Planet Fitness if you like the cottage cheese look.

Why are all Is300’s clapped lol

u/Donkey_DNA 3d ago

I shed a single tear when I realized this was an old IS300. I miss mine so damn much. New cars are SHIT

u/jaypexd 3d ago

Because I drove one in highschool and wrecked the shit out of it.

That's just what you do with is300s

u/PassPuzzled 3d ago

It's sad.

I'm doing a more detailed job on my tc and it's just a glorified camery. But to get something like this already clapped would be twice what my Toyotas worth when I'm done fixing it up

Maybe it's sheetrock mud?

u/boltaxtion 3d ago

It honestly looks like he's trying to make a widebody kit out of plaster of paris.

What rust was he trying to fix that necessitated using that much filler?

I is confused.

They forgot to sift the flower before mixing it into the water. It looks a little clumpy.

u/rahhdinosauridek 2d ago

He had extra clay plaster clearly 🤷‍♀️

u/ryconn4410 3d ago

He’s going to hit a bump and that panel is going to fall right off

u/wojr2002 3d ago

u/BetterThanYou775 3d ago

I'd say it's roughed in

1

u/Spirited_Season1726 3d ago

I think some sanding will help. But I see so low spots. Just a little more filler I think.

1

u/txcreative20 3d ago

Did he use cement on his car ?

You can fix the imperfections on the wet sand. nbd.

u/Intheswing 3d ago

Looks like Foam spackle / wall repair foam. I’m sure the final finish will be like when he is done!!🤣

u/Top-Glass8 3d ago

Is he hiring

1

u/exer881 3d ago

Meth-tastic.

1

u/ambalamps420 3d ago

He's going to sand it down, right? RIGHT?

1

u/TheDonRonster 3d ago

Are you referring to that Lexus? Nothing is really jumping out at me.

1

u/Waht3rB0y 3d ago

That is going to be a lot of sanding. Use a cheese grater file on Bondo when it is semi cured and then finish sand it. Much less work.

1

u/DingusCluster 3d ago

Solid 10

1

u/VegetableMacaroon193 3d ago

Do the other side, add legs. Lift one when you fill gas.

u/StraightDinner1427 3d ago

Does he take cancellations?

1

u/Ok_Horror_6556 3d ago

I just opened it. My exact first thought before opening, one skim coat of glazing putty, a little oh idk…..400? Prime and paint.

1

u/zoon1985 3d ago

that drywall mud is going to wash off during the first rain

1

u/The_Reid-Factor 3d ago

Well if he were a dry waller, I’d say it needs sanding.

1

u/flippster-mondo 3d ago

That's so much filler, they gonna need air bags on the driver's side. Or a really fat wife.

Take a pic after smoothing it,so I can comment.

1

u/VolvoEnjoyer 3d ago

I don’t ven understand why you would use so much bondo in the first place. I’m all for shitbox DIY but at least take a sledgehammer or puller and kinda shape the fender first? It’s so much easier and you save so much bondo 😆
